I managed to get back to the place I was in 29 before ripping up a lot of it and redoing. I woke up all ready to work on it, but knew I wouldn't get a chance for at least 12 hours and realistically 15 hours. Frustrating.

I'm back on track for Chapter 29 and moving ahead. I feel like I'm burning through too many words getting to the ending, bringing up the specter of 31 chapters instead of 30. Look characters, I know you've got some personal and political issues to work out, but I've got an army I need to get moving.

Because books.
Have we seen this? Looks like an awesome way to waste time play with words and ideas.
In the home stretch, Gud! Awesome.

I got some good writing time last night. Chapter 29 is done. Now for the final chapter. Of course, it might the final two chapters if I decide to split it later. I'm now at 165,000 words.

Go, Gud! I am excited for you to finish the draft. Yay!

I keep having to go through the files of previous chapters to look stuff up. It's slowing me down. But I'm at least a third of the way through that final chapter.

Oh, I always write in one continuous file. I'm way to lazy to merge them all later.

I just use a master document to tie them all together.

Fay by all means email me a copy if you wish. Profile addy is good. It may be few days till I get to it. Do you want only high level feedback or should I mention typos if I see them. (For someone who make so many friggin typos myself, I find myself surprisingly good at spotting them in others.)

So close now. I didn't manage to finish the rough draft this weekend, but I got about 7,000 words into the last chapter. Two or four scenes left depending out how you count them, so maybe another 2,000 - 3,000 words. Action always writes fast, and the last chapter is constant action.
I'll probably split the last chapter when I'm done with it. I've got a great spot for it to break. After the chapter a 1,000 word or so epilogue and rough draft will be complete.
