I was a productive little author this weekend. Two more new chapters!<\/p>\n
Actually I had originally planned for these two chapters to be one chapter, but . . . as per usual, the characters got carried away with their conversation, and it seemed like it would be an awfully long chapter if I stuck them together.<\/p>\n
So. The book’s total word count so far: 94,751.<\/p>\n
Oh noooooo, it’s almost 95,000! It’s inching ever closer to that horrific 100,000-word mark! \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n
I am not, nor will I ever be, capable of a short novel.<\/p>\n
I have a SHORT STORY that’s around 22,000 words. Good lord.<\/p>\n
I’m pleased with the chapters. Two scenes that I thought would kill me were easily survivable. This is why I think if these characters ever stop surprising me, it won’t be soon.<\/p>\n
So, yes. Couple-fights. Psychoanalysis. Minor injuries. Vegan muffins. Crazy cats. Crying. Grape juice. And EVERYONE is acting sort of creepy now, especially Mulligan. It’s weirding me out.<\/p>\n
I can’t wait until I’m done with this monster. I really, really want to share it.<\/p>\n
Although . . . I don’t know how the book ends. I rarely do. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
(It’s okay\u2014the characters always figure it out.)<\/p>\n
Ah and I have introduced . . . THE MYSTERY OF THE CIGAR BOX!!! What’s inside? Condoms? Rat poison? Yo’ momma?<\/p>\n
