WIP Update #3
2022-10-22 09:18 amAlmost done! With the typing/first edit, at least.
Drafted chapters: 17/17 ✓
Typed up chapters: 16/17 (72,343 words) ETA: and I'm done! 17/17 (76,999 words)✓
Which means there’s only one chapter and the epilogue to go, and I estimated the total length pretty well. I’m a bit unsure about the last chapters at the moment. Not because they’re bad, but because I get a feeling that readers might think they’re rushed. The thing is, I’ve done everything with the story that I want to do with it, and I’ve more or less wrapped up all the story arcs, emotional and plot-wise. If I add more chapters, they will be filler, more missions that don’t add anything to the story except a buffer between one chapter with important content and another. Hopefully, I’ll figure out what to do on re-read.
Also, as of now, I’ve written 85,194 words this year. Which means I’ve met my![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
getyourwordsout pledge and can take off November and not do NaNo! Which is good news, because I’ll be busy in November. I was last year as well, but this means more time for Yuletide.
