"If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer.
Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away."

-Henry David Thoreau

Wrote Chapter 24

Most likely, it's a direct effect from reading so much Alex Cross while at work (in the past month I've finished two more Cross novels, and am 2/3 of the way through a third.  After I finish this one, I'll only be one behind - I'm happy I've caught up so quickly), but tonight I just came from work with the desire to write a chapter - so I did.  I'm glad I didn't sit on it, or convince myself to play video games, or something else.  I actually came home, turned on "The Family Man" and after two solid hours of writing, I knocked out Chapter 24.

Chapter 25 is going to be a pretty easy one, and a pretty intense one, as David deals with the fallout of the information he's learned about Drea's alternate life, and things between him and Amanda are going to hit a new level of bad.

I'll probably do some more work on the "Grinchby" novel before I write Chapter 25, just due to the holiday season, and I'd like to get it out there to be read before the season is over.  Maybe I'll carve out some time tomorrow to kick out a couple thousand words there.

Until then, CHAPTER 24 is online!
