Spiral update

So I totally couldn't meet the 7-day pledge I made to Colby to have the next chapter to him by today. Technically I said a week and a half, but I won't get it done by then either. I mostly blame getting incredibly sick with the flu (so much so that I've had to endure half a week more with my parents ;))

The guilt, however, was able to give me a fairly good spurt on my start. Just finished writing the first scene ... started at about 10pm today, so 2-3 hours work ain't bad for 1,433 words. This was a lot easier to write mostly because it works as in independent scene, so I didn't need to fully plan it out and I'm glad it organically evolved to something quite nice. The only thing stopping me from writing this days previous was I needed a name for a new character and  I couldn't think of one, but during dinner I found one so it all kinda fell into place

As promised this chapter will reveal my endgame, and ultimately, what I hope will be a nifty endgame for Colby's story though too, though I'd said in the past that we really ought not to have our own endgames.

Also, we're at 79, 592 words. And we're probably half or a third of the way through ... So yeah :\
