I'm still working on mine...really haven't had much time with planning the surprise party and all. But I got two character sketches (at least a bunch of info) about Fineena and Peter. So that's going well! I'm actually concentrating on a short story called "Inscription of Love" for THEMA magazine. I love writing. I totally wouldn't have my life any other way! ^_^

I'm actually working on it! It's amazing!!!
I'm writing the end of chapter three right now and I think I'm going to start on four as soon as I finish. Right now this section is about 1650 words, but I've planned the chapters to be reeeeally long, since I only want to have twelve. That may change later on since I know a lot of people prefer short chapters, but I've never been one to care about chapter length. When I'm reading a novel I just stop at the little divider thingies. Those usually aren't as cliff-hanger-ish as the ends of chapters, so it's a pretty good deal. And if it's a good book I never notice when the chapter ends anyway.
I'm not sure if Addie's turning out the way I wanted her to, but I guess I can always tweak that later. I've had people tell me Gavin's too serious, but he and Gaia are supposed to be serious, so that works for me. Colette isn't how I want her yet. She's too nice. I need to throw in a touch of frivolity and a dash of cluelesness, and then she'll be good to go. Winston needs to be more sinister too. He's not evil enough yet, but I think that's fix-able.
I'm just glad I'm actually working on it again, LOL.
Where falls not hail, or rain, or any snow, Nor ever wind blows loudly; but it lies Deep-meadowed, happy, fair with orchard lawns And bowery hollows crowned with summer sea

I have triumphantly planned most of my chapters so I have a clear idea of what to write when I get to them. I'm at 500 - 1,000 words a day at the moment. =)
