Probably a short post today. My novel is nearing completion (I miscalculated my chapters before. I usually have 12 chapters in a book, but I've only got 10 in this one), and I have... 43,000-odd words as of last night. I was hoping maybe to finish up my word goal and story by the time we head out to see Harry Potter 7 Part 1 this evening, but I don't know if I'll manage it. 6,000 or so words in a day, with a later start than I wanted and an earlier finish than possibly desirable? I'm going to be too tired to write by the time I get home. Hmm... Eh, piece of cake. Six or seven hours of writing are still in the day. If I can just hide and keep myself away from distractions, like the computer and my blog. I owe my non-existent readers an update, don't I? Or maybe not.
Anyway, with the scenes I have left and the words I have left I need about 2300 words per scene or 4600 words per chapter, not including epilogue, but of course epilogues are short for me. My prologues are usually longer than my epilogues. Just a little finishing up touch because I can't resist. I usually should just edit them out. Oh well.
Um, what else... Rapa is planning on doing the absolutely insane thing of writing virtually all of her 50,000 during Thanksgiving break. Oh dear. She's got a few thousand, but that's still 40,000+ to be written in something like nine days, three of which are spent at her mom's. But I should probably poke her into posting that on her own blog, shouldn't I?
Wordwars and candy! And fudge. Lots of fudge.
