I'm rewriting chapter whatever-the-next-one-is and I'm seriously lacking in impetus. It's taken an hour to write half a page.

Any cheering along or kicking much appreciated. I need to get this finished and posted for tomorrow.

It's getting there. I've got two more pages to go and we're done for posting. I'm not sure how good it is though - it feels all wrong to me. Maybe I should have just stuck to the original version blink.gif

It's not finished yet. I could post the original version today, but it definitely needs the addition. Looks like peopl are going to have to be patient for another 24 hours...

Sorry.

Yeah, but that's what makes be feel guilty crybaby.gif

If it's any consolation it's the chapter after the one I'm currently rewriting that you REALLY want to get your hands on. And that's (ironically) ready to post.

Well, Hope shagging the barman in the hotel over the snooker table was quite a revelation wink.gif

Seriously, I'm almost done - with the wind behind me and a savage nibble from the bunnies you'll get it tomorrow. My beta readers are FAB at getting stuff turned around on a pin!
