Kayli called me last night and said, "Check you email, then call me back." Then she hung up the phone. I cheered. That's our code for--"I finished a letter." Or, in other words, another chapter in the book. In this case, Kayli finished her last climactic letter that previously ended with "blah, blah, blah." It's much, much, much better now!! And although I keep trying to get her to change one little part and she won't--I still love it.
So--I edited a bunch of my last letter, though I still have quite a bit to do, and Kayli has the VERY LAST LETTER OF THE BOOK TO WRITE, and our ENTIRE ROUGH DRAFT will be FINISHED!
And guess what Kayli is saying, "I don't WANT to write the last letter." Excuse me??? Some of you have read the first half of the book and have waited patiently or impatiently as your personality's dictate for the second half. You should post a message immediately telling her to get off her heiny, or actually, sit on her heiny and GET TO WORK! ASAP!
The goal is to have the whole rough draft of the book done by Sunday night. Wouldn't that be a beautiful thing? Yes. Yes it would.
And everyone, I just have to say, what happens with Viggo and Lucan, and Gallatin, and, of course, Minna and Signe will cause heart palpitations. Kayli read Louis L'Amour to brush up on writing violence and I read R.A. Salvatore (which always grosses me out--how can so many of my family members love him so much??), and let's just say the climax of the story is much more climactic. As per our editor's (Kami) request.
SO BUG KAYLI ALREADY SO THAT YOU'LL GET TO READ ALL ABOUT IT!!!!!!

WHAT?! I do more work on our book than has been done in ages, and I get HARASSED?!?!???!?!!?!
This is not to be borne.
I'm on strike.
Until you give me a very good apology including chocolate chips.
You can't go on strike until we meet our deadline on Sunday night. I'll decide. As for choco chips---if you write the last letter I'll send you money to buy some. Enough for a good kind. Come on, come on, come on, HIT IT!
