marfiskYippee! Hurray! I'm saved!
And who would have thought I could find such joy in the end of a novel stretching further away from me. Today I wrote the re-introduction of Kareleen and a scene that was supposed to be one required two. It has class conflict, the return of Andon's despair over losing his family, and his recognition that he'll never have a chance at renewal, at starting again. Some of that beauteous help humanity feeling is fading in favor of a selfish "why me?" and I love it.
Detail that this also gives me extra word count and now fixes the novel firmly within publishable length. No, that couldn't have anything to do with my happiness, eh?
And stats:
New Words: 1850 words
67 scenes
45 complete - 67% of the novel
22 Scenes remain
30155 Remaining word count
91835 Estimated length - with an average of 1371 words per scene.
