That's probably true except that I've spent 11K on two day's worth of activity (the kids aren't even at the camp yet). I think when I edit this I'll start at Ch. 2 (they get to camp) and work in some of the Ch 1 activities as asides as in:

'I guess I'm getting used to the altitude. I'm not as out of breath as I was at the airport in Denver. I thought I was going to fall over and die just walking to the buses. The advisors knew what they were doing when they scheduled two days of day hikes and touring to help us get acclimated.'

Oh my goodness. I just re-wrote Ch 1 in four sentences.

Ack.

Yeah, but in the midst of that 11k, you're also showing us who the characters are before anything has really happened to them - giving us a good before shot.

But...probably stuff like decribing the two days of day hikes and touring isn't needed, I suppose. But the way I write, I'd have done that. *sigh* I have a really hard time with moving from one point in the story to another.

In other news, one composition notebook down...starting another.

And this one has much worse paper, even though it's the same brand. Go figure. It's gonna drive me nuts, though...can't really use fountain pen ink in it. Grrr...
