Yes, single spaced. Okay, thank you. And he's verbose, so I'll tell him 400 and get probably 600, and then I can add the second page if necessary given the photos. But I'm not telling him it's an option.
I love him a bunch, but he's cracking me up. I finally wrote him a big note and gave him a deadline, some expectations, and an outline. It's the only way he'll get it done. And he wants to get it done! People will give him more money! He already missed last quarter's newsletter. By the time he gets it done, he'll be back in Tuva!
Thanks!
Making more progress on 45, while trying to decide what to have in there and what not. There's a scene I like, but there appears to be no place for it the way I'm rewriting this part. Maybe it can fit into a later chapter, maybe not. In any event, I'm getting through the things that must happen plot-wise and character-wise.
Just some fixing up to do on 45 and 46 and I'll be digging in on 47. I'm not sure about 46, but this isn't the last version so I'm not going to fret about it too much now. I'll see what beta readers think when they get there.
I'm expecting 55 chapters so I'm just nine chapters away from the end of this revision. I sure hope the next revision doesn't take as long, I don't plan to rewrite everything so I don't think it will.
Working on having the calm of a Zen master and the patience of a saint over losing most of the work I did on my book review yesterday.
Did I mention that all computers must die?
I got done with 45 and 46. That makes it 9 chapters left in my estimation. Closing in. A lot happens in these final chapters.
I think I scraped most of it out of my head and back onto the page this afternoon.
Good luck on the home stretch, Gud!
Got a start on 47. This is a complete rewrite part so it's going a bit slower.
