So... done proofing. I wrote too much for one chapter. To make this even more of an "occasion" I didn't even have a name for the chapter. Now I have to come up with names for two chapters. I need an adult...

The problem with having a large supporting cast in a book and also not working on said book in months is that I forget what everyone behaves like.

Friendly reminder: Imposter syndrome isn’t proof you can’t write. It’s proof you care about getting it right. Pause and recognize how your care for your craft drives your persistence.

To use the C word or not. None of my books use it. Suggest it, yes. But it is relevant to the dialogue I'm currently writing. But is it really needed? Decisions...

I love writing. I do. Though, I heavily dislike the sentence I'm stuck on right now. And the whole paragraph it's in.
It really should be earlier in the chapter, but damn if I know how to add it there when I'm more than happy with said chapter.
Oh well, that's a future me problem.

The fact that my characters managed to surprise me at least once per scene I include them in, tell you how happy they are about said consequences. Oops. Oh well, I'm sure it will be fine... yeah, who am I kidding? My characters will stage a revolt at this rate.
