Working on my online novella…

My 2nd book of circa 20k words or 100 pages is at halfway. There is a climax there instead of at the end as in other books. I need to flesh out the suspenseful battle of inexact Science but since last night, was stumped. This comes as I take a 2 day break from writing.

Still dark out, I worked out using my padded laptop sleeve as a cushion for my pushups. Used the gap under my bed to anchor my sit-ups. Did the usual lunges wast twists, shoulder rolls and next bends. Feeling good. In a few hours, will head out walking. Not sure where yet.

I think there will be a chapter on witches and their kraft, maybe in chapter 12. And more philosophy in 13-14. Math in chp.11 and 15.

Hard to think though many others’ thoughts. Think there will be 3 bounty hunters. Weaving his severed finger into an inexact machine, he tosses one from the flat to his death and blinds another. The unexptected third fighter is really Matthew in disguise, and they face off with inexact psychology. Seth pushes Matthew onto Marjorie which weakens him, impaled upon her blade. She discovers too late she killed her husband. Seth and Ri walk away from the fight scene. End of chp.10.

Considered chp.10 plotted and done. Now to go on that walk after lunch.


Having some trouble finishing chp.10 -my mind awash with doubts, conflicting viewpoints and technicalities. I published 8 and 9 earlier and will not be writing 11-15 until Wednesday night. Helped make dinner and will carry on trying now.

BTW, the walk did me a lot of good. The sunshine helped me heal. I didn’t buy anything or eat anywhere. Just came straight home. Maybe my standards are set too high for this exciting chapter…

Night just fell over PJ and the first half of 'Inexact Science' is done. We had a simple dinner of steamed ginger garlic chicken with wood ear fungus. My secret ingredient is olive oil which goes very well with garlic. A few hours till bed. Am looking over the JavaScript source of SeTT, trying to find the last remaining bug that's jamming up the AI. May take an hour or two as there is a lot of code to break up.
