I got up in the middle of the night and started to write on my novel.  I got another chapter written and spent the rest of the day (mostly) putting the novel into a Word format, double spacing it and getting it ready to send to a publisher.  I am ready now to bring all the characters into one last final smashing cataclysmic ending; that is going to take some doing.  I don't know if I'm almost through or half way through...hmmm.  It has been very quiet here in the woods.  There is a stillness that surpasses understanding.  The little birdies are hitting the feeders like crazy; they fly in and land and grab a seed and fly away to eat it, all in less than a second, and the next one and the next one.  Our control towers at airfields should study these little guys.  All I did other than write today, was that I made chicken noodle soup, which turned out very well.  Think I'll settle down for the evening and ponder how my novel will end.
