I was up at six, announced, and went back to bed. Prior to going to bed, I'd come up with what I thought was kind of a neat way into the penultimate chapter, so I made some notes. I got up at nine and wrote the first three pages that way, but something about it didn't feel right, so I went back and changed it a bit - I'll see how that feels when I'm back from lunch. I think it's better. I was trying to keep the reveal a secret until it's actually revealed, but it's such a cheat to do it and it's a very literary device (where the character knows who she's talking to but the reader does not - there would be no way to film such a scene). But even though you know when she begins the conversation who it is, the who will still be a surprise and her tale is the thing once you know the who, and then it goes on from there.
