There she is, the groove.

I finished chapter 20 yesterday.

brooksmoses and I were having our regular phone call, and I was talking about stuff feeling stuck and agitated, and something came unstuck, and I wrote the last couple of paragraphs and emailed it to him. (It's the second-shortest chapter in the draft, but oh well.)

I asked him how long it had been since I'd sent him a chapter.

He said the last one was 4 August.

I knew I'd been . . . something or other, but that's five, five and a half months.

Admittedly, my life fell apart about half a dozen different and increasingly ugly ways in August and I've spent most of the rest of the time trying to reassemble the fragments into something functional, but there's a part of my head that just wants to mutter, "Excuses!"

Not excuses. Will write 21 now.

Well done on the chapter. *hug* It is really good to get the mode back after large-scale disruption, I've done that in the past year too [ though it was a much more voluntary and positive disruption ] and I sympathise.

And oneironaut says what I have written on chapter 21 works, so it's all good.
