Toward Calamity


Takuta-Nui

850 views

It's October 23 and I've already broken a few goals already.

 

1. Expected the epic to be less than 100,000 words. It isn't, and looks likely to be nearly 130,000.

 

2. Also expected it to be less than 300 pages, and looks to be closer to 350.

 

3. Final scene needs not one, not two, but THREE chapters to wrap up. I had all the action in my head for over a year now, but as I began to write it out I realized just how much there was to cover. It's amazing how so many things come together, and it's very important to negotiate them so that each thread gets its own worthy ending.

 

On that note, I'm beginning the final scene. It should more or less roll out of me in the next week, so I believe I'm on track for December launch. Wanted to let you all know what's going on at this time. Hope you can wait a bit longer! =)

I just wrote the ending a few nights ago. Fortunately I think I got it right as I've had it in my mind for something like a year now, but I did just go and edit it a little today to add more that I missed during my initial excitement.

 

And that means what you think it means - the story is finished and all I need to do now is revise it. That will be November, and I think that December 1 can be my first post. I'm not creating a separate entry for this update as it more or less falls in line with the expectations I set, so I'll update when I finish revising and can set the launch date in stone.
