I've written about 9000 words in what was supposed to be a 5000-word 'final chapter', Obviously I've miscalculated seriously. :)
Anyway, I broke the story at what I think is a good point, so I can post SOMEthing, at least.
I'm thinking now I *might* be able to wrap it up in 15,000 words, so that leaves two more chapters before I can wind the the story up properly. Fortunately, it's moving along fairly well, and though I don't write quickly, the time I do spend has felt productive so far.
I must admit I have astonished myself that I have been able to write so much; the complete story will amount to a moderate-sized novel! Me! A novelist! In quantity, at least.
Mega-kudos to Lilith, for all of her wonderful stories and the inspiration they've provided.
And Super-mega-kudos to Erin and this entire community for being so welcoming and allowing me to discover an interest in writing.

Miscalculations
Don't feel too bad. My Blue Beetle story was supposed to be only five chapters when I originally envisioned it. Stories get away from you but to me that's when they really shine.
unfortantly, i tont think i can be along for the ride
What is happening to Delores is just too much for me. Somebody tell me when I can stop covering my eyes?
