Thanks all! I should be pleased, rather than immediately worrying about the next thing, right? :D

Because books.
Be pleased, Seska! But looking forward is always a good thing, too.

I think of those times as "Billy Walsh moments" after this screenwriter/director on "Entourage. Billy's mental, but most writers are a little like him in that we ping-pong between pride and self-loathing so frequently. Billy's an extreme case in that his poles are "The next Marty Scorcese" or "Writes shit unfit to be seen by humans" but, I think, on a smaller, less assy, level, we've been there.

I'm still pounding away at 48. I might already be done depending on where I want to break the chapter. I'm going to go to the end of the next scene and see if I want to break before it or after it. I'm 2,000 words into 48 and it seems like not a lot has happened, but I suppose there are two revelations and there's a bit of background about one of the newer character.

Awesome Barb!
I've decided to cut off 48 before the next little bit, so that makes me done with 48 for this time around. Not exactly done, I'll need to do some fixing up.
It does mean I'm into 49 now. I didn't want 48 to go unusually long and I realized I was trying to stuff too much into too few words in order to fit events into 48.
I have a bad feeling this means 56-57 chapters instead of 55 and may 135k instead of 130k word count. Still getting close though. I hope there's a lot to tighten in the next revision.
