Pigfender has now confirmed it was delivered safely and I can go to bed.
NiaD 8: Live and Let NiaD
I was lucky. My whole scene took place inside a room. No knowledge of Chicago needed.

I felt a bit like a cheater. I lived in the Chicago area for ten years, and was actually writing my chapter from my Sister's house in Indianapolis. I had quite the head start.
I had to Google to check the weather. I hope I didn't get that part wrong...

Weren't they all? I thought that was the genre.

Ugh. I'm going to be late.
Not excuses but I have a scene that requires a lot of research (for me) and I'm rusty so my writing is achingly slow. I also very rarely write first-person so that's throwing me for a loop.
Anyway, know that I'm going as fast as I can but may be the last straggler tonight.

Chicago in February? Any scene in its right mind would be inside in a room!!
Mine takes place in May.
Much warmer!-

Just submitted! I loved the experience. I knew romcoms are a snowballing deal these days, and I'm glad I got to be part of the movement

Done. And I even managed to sleep this year.
OMG it does not get easier as we go have just finished going to have cup tea and go over it then sending it in. It challenges when you change POV but loved every minute and got to listen to music with earphones, might have annoyed hubby sung out few times lol.
Thank you Rog for all your hard work not sure what we would do with out this every year.

I've just submitted! I didn't in the end have very much detail about Chicago in it. I started out trying to do some background but it became clear that for my chapter - and how I imagined writing it - that lots of specific Chicago references would feel unnecessarily shoehorned in. I resisted the urge to include an educational digression about bundled tubes - one of my writing vices is discovering a fact that I think is interestng[*] nd passing it on.
This has been a fun writing exercise though!
[*] Others may disagree with the kind of things I find interesting!

Hi Rog aka pigfender
I’ve sent you the chapter. It went around 18.30 UK time. So, not too bad considering...
I hope it’s okay.
I wrote it longhand but used Scrivener to write 2nd and 3rd drafts before compiling.
Maybe writing longhand is the secret to finishing writing a book. I find that when I write on a computer, I can spend hours choosing a font and then, of course, Windows insists on doing all those updates. And then there’s all that natural procrastination.
I started writing a song about procrastination about 3 years ago, but haven’t finished it yet!
PS I envy all of you who live in Chicago and didn’t have to spend half the night watching YouTube videos and reading maps. However, I did discover that my favourite Seurat painting is in the Chicago Institute of Art, and there are some spectacular libraries in the university. I stuck all of these in my story, but only referred to the wind once. I expect that the Windy City is a bit too much of a cliché!

Mine, too! Our scenes must be near each other.
