500 items!

Yesterday I posted my 500th item to my portfolio.

Seems like a lot.

That item was chapter 38 of my book. Now that I'm back into it, I really like where this story is going. I'm at about 80K word and I probably have another 20-30K to go.

My wife asked me about how I know what is going to happen in a chapter and I couldn't really say. It went like this: "I start creating a setting and then I have someone in it and I realize that I know who that is. And, if he is in it, then this other person must be doing something and then, sure enough that other person shows up doing something. Since this is a certain combination of characters, there is only one possible turn and that is danger followed by reconciliation. And then I notice the chapter is over."

Hmmm....

I do know where the story is headed and I know sort of how it will end.
