I started 'chapter' 5 yesterday, knowing that I had to deal with 1967 but having mostly a blank space as to how to do it, what to fill it with. After several paragraphs of description - and although I know they are necessary they rarely give me the buzz that writing dialogue does - I finally got into the groove, characters took over and it went along nicely.
Added a bit more today and managed to incorporate some of the character notes I'd made, which I think is important because I have a feeling that the different characters, and their interaction is going to be one of the strengths, or at least important aspects, of this novel - hope so at least, if I can make it work. Total word count for this section is 4375 - largest of the lot so far.
Next to 1968 - a MUCH more interesting year ... Oh no, I've remembered another T10 inspired plot line which was slotted in for 1967 ... and also a to-be-transcribed conversation, so 1968 in a day or two's time.
