Breaking up is hard to do
A quick update to move things along after the prevous post.
I sent Ch3 off to the editor a couple of days ago. I haven’t finished Ch6 yet, but I made an important decision. The erstwhile Ch6 has grown to 18k words, and I still have ~4k left to write before I close out the mini-arc. So, I could cut the hell out of it to get it to a “super-sized” chapter of ~15k words, or I could chop it in half and call it 6 & 7. I chose the latter.
With fans like these, who needs enemies?
I got this lengthy gem in my e-mail today. My reply e-mail bounced, so I thought I’d post it here (in its entirety) on the Wall of Shame. See my reply at the bottom.
