Chapters: 6 (draft 2)
Total @ 19.5
This chapter feels like I'm running towards a receding finish line... I have 13 pages (out of 47) left to edit and then I'm done with the hardest part. This chapter has taken AGES, mainly because I rewrote the first half. But now as I get towards the final third I've been editing more and rewriting less. Unfortunately, I never really had a solid ending for this story, so as I tack on the final discussion that adds on pages. I'm kind of vomiting their big talk right now because I really don't know how they're exactly sorting things out. Well I know the end, but not exactly the route they take.
So my goal is to finish the edit of this final chapter by Sunday. That's 3 days for 13 pages. I feel like there is some momentum that is happening so the weight is slowly being lifted. There is still soooo much work to be done on this thing to make it palatable. But yes, there is a light at that far end... I'm actually looking forward to the next round of edits. Plot pointst/foreshadowing, time setting, spackle time!
I might have to break up the final chapter into 2... it's pushing 8K now and I can't seem to figure out how to deal with this massive imbalance... Might be cheating.. I don't know yet. I've added another 1000 words on this thing!!! Revoke my pen privileges! Somebody please!!
