I LOVE zooming out on a huge outline to see the roots of what you just made :)

Dark fantasy you say 👀

That's not a laptop at this point, that's a family member 🥺

That's the rewrite down! Where did this extra 22k come from 😭

Clocking in at 172k, I'm absolutely exhausted, but it's off to select beta readers now and I don't have to think about it again for a month. #writing

Me: oh man I'm getting real tired, not sure I'll finish the draft tonight after all
Tiberius 🐱: I gotchu -chases a giant hobo spider under my feet-

Well. I'm awake now.

It's always so funny when I hit hard chapters like this because INEVITABLY I have a little mental tantrum like "I can't DO this these chapters are simply TOO hard I should GIVE UP writing for good."

Then I sit down, write a play by play, and all the issues magically just resolve themselves.

Surpassed 150k!

Two more "hard chapters" i.e. chapters that need complete overhauls, then it's a straight shot to the end. Book got a bit longer unfortunately, but that's okay because this isn't the last revision it will see, just the most insane one.

Also while we're here, I stumbled across another of my favorite notes. #writing

Safe to say, I didn't. BUT! I'm finishing Act 4 tonight and SHOULD have Act 5 done by NEXT Wednesday.

Act 3 done! Can I write 7 chapters really fast and have act 4 done by Wednesday? Stay tuned.

Hit 100k, this is flying by, my goodness.
