4800 words so far today.<\/p>\n
164,800-something for the book.<\/p>\n
And two pages into the next chapter, I realized I had written the end, at the end of the previous chapter.\u00a0 It may grow or shrink some, but the skeleton and most of the flesh are there.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I couldn’t stop today.\u00a0 I was at that point where I just had to go on until either I fell over or I came to the end.<\/p>\n
Of course I could be wrong and what I think is the end isn’t, but I think it is, because it feels like the ending of Oath of Gold,<\/em> when I had in mind a fancy sort of ending and Paks just got up and rode away.\u00a0\u00a0 I had planned a fancy scene for this one–palace celebration kind of thing–but\u00a0 I suspec that’s overkill.<\/p>\n At any rate, the 4800 words is causing some pain, so I’m going to quit, at least for awhile.\u00a0\u00a0 And I am NOT starting book three tonight, though it’s bubbling merrily on the fire and tells me it’s ready any time now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 4800 words so far today. 164,800-something for the book.
