mugenmineStuck: Day who knows-
Chapters: 6 (draft 2)
Total @ 17.6
I'm officially in novella territory! I looked it up. According to wikipedia at least 17.5K puts me at novella. Not sure what I think about that. I was joking with my friend about how many words we throw at strange things. Then I promised her a tentacle fic for her birthday. More strange things! I'm fitting it into the New!Sub verse! somehow... I have some ideas.
I am down to my final chapter of rewrites! I finished chapters 4 and 5 and only have 6 now. Forty-four more pages to edit (double spaced). I'm kind of reeling. But each day it gets a tiny bit closer to done-ness. So much wholesale rewrites, so much has changed. I FINALLY figured out Sherlock's motivation so I have to go back and change things, tone some shit down. But I'm hoping that after the chapter 6 rewrite it will be about plot tightening, adding in some missed character development and then word polishing. The verdict is still out on whether the story sucks. It could go either way... Okay getting ahead of myself again, but it's nice to be moving forward, albeit slowly.
