	All public talk about my first finished manuscript is done so with that, I'm now opening a new thread for my other works... As of this day, I'm now slowly sinking deeper into Untitled 8, thanks to a LOT of brainstorming with our Penth. I'll update everyone on what is written so far... Main Manuscript: I'm about halfway through Chapter 4. Other files to be spliced in: FILE ONE: A scene I wrote up a while back, which may be coming up sometime soon in the main manuscript... It all depends on if I can close the gap between where I am and get all I want to get in there. I have a few things to do, like more interactions between th leading couple and a few things family related on her side of it, so hopefully I can do all of it without rambling. FILE TWO: One I started today, with an idea Penth shot at me, with a tweak or two... It's one that happens near the end of the book and builds up to the grand finale/climax, etc. It's an intense part and 8 pages of it later, I'm POOPED! It's NOT done by a long shot, there are several "gaps" in it that I need to fill in and it's rough but close to what I like to have for a first draft, quality wise. A tonne of new ideas were added to the ideas file, thanks to major brainstorming sessions with Penth and I THANK HER FOR IT!!! It's almost as if she flipped a switch in the brain telling me to GET TO IT and that's what's happening now! LOL Read the full story here: http://acanadianspov.blogspot.ca/2013/03/brainstorming-whoa.html

	Being cryptic again... Ideas are flowing for the GEM idea that Penth gave me and I've added a few more to the ideas file today. I also have a description of something done and why "SOMETHING" wasn't found before the start of the book... hehehehehe....

	Getting updates on distances between areas in the province for Untitled 8 or as its working title NOW stands "FP". I had a lot of them down for NR but needed a few extra things. Thank the stars for Google Maps, even if the driving times on them are NOT fully accurate, but I can adapt!

	So... Like I said on Facebook (pink rose profile), I'm starting to get a general description of a scene/site in the story that takes place not too long before the GEM that Penth threw at me last week. I see the overall site... What it looks like, who is there, the look on a character's face, and some other things but not all what's being said, or whatnot... I do know WHY the characters are in this spot and have a general idea of what's going on but it's not fully gelled yet... Plus my son is home and up right now, and Hubby is at work so I can't just start writing without having the concentration being broken every couple of minutes. I'll get to it when things are quiet here and I'm able to function a little more, which may not be until next week. SIGH

	One thing I LOVE about MS Word is that one can put password protection on certain things... Like I'm going to have to with the "Over 18" ideas file for FP/Untitled 8... Some of what may be described could be pretty graphic and Son's computer literate enough to OPEN Word and get into things... It's days like today that I wish he wasn't so computer literate but he learns from watching ME do stuff on the computer, like maintenance, etc.... KIDS. LOL

	Made a change to one of the "sidelines" characters in FP, the original name wasn't working so I changed it.

	Okay so I wrapped up Chapter 4 yesterday and am now about 1/3 to 1/2 of the way through Chapter 5. Progress is coming along, slowly but surely, but each new word, sentence, paragraph, etc is still PROGRESS!!! Just to think, a year ago I was having a lot of the same problems with FP's predecessor and look where that is now.... Hehehehehe....

	I've been checking things in the Dedication, Acknowledgements and Excerpts area of Book 1 and added a person or two... I only give credit WHERE IT IS DUE... In my mind, people who think that they can sit back, make snarky remarks and do nothing but insult me while I'm an unknown author better NOT think they're going to be getting ANY credit for my writing or shove me out of MY spotlight, or even take a tiny corner of it when I'm finally published at all, especially if a publishing house takes me on and promotes the dickens out of my book and me as an author... I know one or two that WILL try this and believe me, they are going to get one HECK of a nasty surprise when Book 1 hits the shelves, either virtual or physical!!!

	I'm seeing needed revisions EVERYWHERE. Good thing I'm catching them NOW because it'll be harder to do when the first draft is finished!!!

	Okay I think I have "ROUND ONE" of the revisions done... I'm going to do a quick reread/edit on that area (Chapter 2) and mark that one off of the list! Eyes crossed!

	Well, there will only be two rounds of additions instead of a whole bunch of them... Round One was done and Round Two can be done with a few sentences in Chapter 3.... Weird.

	Chapter 2's word count is right within my normal range, even with the additions. So far, so good. I'm going to add Round 2 to Chapter 3 in a second, IF my son will be quiet for a few minutes that is!!
