Day 48 - I'm short
Â
I'm short.
Â
That's not true, I'm actually quite tall, but the final chapter of my historical co-write is short.
Â
Before you get out the pitchforks, let me clarify that further.
Â
A standard chapter is anywhere between 2-4k words, my average is three thousand words, so a chapter that is 2,600 words* is short in my mind, but I have no desire to fluff the chapter, because I don't want the story to drag to it's end; I want to careen into it. So, I'm not changing anything (unless I have to fix an edit).
Â
*(Like how I did that? Three different representations of number formats, each meaning thousand. Language is amazing.)
Â
I'm leaving the past for Firefly Island tomorrow. I've got several projects in this world which are due before Halloween (whether I can pull this off remains to be seen, I can only do what I can do).
