I am super happy to hear it’s going slow coz it grew on you.
I mean, I expected this level of grow, that’s normal, but when you add in that I miscounted, that makes this a whole lot longer.
if I weren’t so tired my eyes were falling shut at 7:30 pm I would be confident of finishing by tomorrow evening even with a full day of chicken processing tomorrow (…ugh) but I am so tired, friends. I am. And the thing’s only 4500 words long, and I moved a big climactic event to the next chapter so this one could end on a suitable beat, and then I can’t figure out what else I could put in without wrecking the pacing. So. That’s annoying. Either the length will be way off (which is acceptable, I suppose) or the chapter will be late, and i don’t want to do that again.
Because the main climax thing is what I’m going to have to 100% rewrite from scratch, and I just need a lot of time and attention to do that. And it’s a huge chunk that will take up more than the remaining length I’d want to allot to this chapter.
Anyway. Even the few little bits I have in this chapter, I still need to finish scenes that are sort of stuck, so.
I am so tired I’m just rambling. We’ll see what I can manage. I might do okay. Who knows.
I intentionally underwrote the length on the thing becuase i knew it would grow. The rough draft versions of all these chapters have been like 6000ish words; I’ve added like 4k per chapter on this whole thing. But. This one was like 12000 words before I cut out the climactic scene and moved it, and growing.
So we’ll see what I do. Where am I? What’s my name again? What were we talking about?
