Last Call Update

The good news: The story is finished and it only took me a week. I'm mostly happy with the pieces and the pacing.

The Bad News: It's about 20k shorter than I want it to be so the editing phase is going to suck.

C'est La Vie.

So I'll poke at it until November when I start book 4 of the series and see how I can fix it. Still very proud of myself for finishing in a week.

Where I'm at on Last Call

Last Call, the third book of The Chained is proving to be a troublesome beast. I'm writing a fine amount of words, sitting at 33,281 at the time of writing this which is not bad for a week. Unfortunately I don't think I'll get 60k out of it. I would honestly be pretty impressed if I got 50k out of it and that would involve back tracking and tacking extra scenes in, which is always a major pain in the ass.

The outline was fine! But things went much faster than I expected.

So yeah, I might have a novella instead of a novel, which is a little frustrating.

But I'm averaging 4k a day and that's pretty sweet.

Soldiering On

So we're three days into work on Last Call and it's going actually pretty swimmingly. I'm having an issue with timing, being that the first couple chapters are way, way, way to short, but otherwise it's progressing well. I'm ahead of schedule with my word count which is always nice. I've skinned the main character once which is always fun.

All told, it's coming right along.
