Chapter Three

I am pleasantly surprised to have finished chapter three this week. The bulk of it is dialogue,which I really enjoy writing. I sketched out the key points that needed to be covered and then ensured that the links between the ideas followed a logic that would make the dialogue totally natural. All I then had to do was write it (I say all but there were a lot of rests, head rubbing, distraction activity, staring out of the window and flapjack). A great deal of research has gone into it; so much of which is now on the writers equivalent of the cutting room floor but was necessary.
