Things have slowed down! I have less than five thousand words to go and the pace of my thriller is about as slow as a turtle in winter. Not only that, and this is something I discovered last year, my chapters are short . . . painfully short. A couple of paragraphs and then done.
This is why I believe that this manuscrip will easily be 90K words when it's complete. Once I go back and write the setting and add more back story, this sucker will be almost 30% longer. Right now though I just want to get to the end. Not to 50K but to the end of the story.
Two NaNoWriMo's ago I finished the 50K words but didn't finish the story. It's still not finished. I'm going back and editing it now . . . the ending is still missing. I'd rather have an ending that gets massaged and changed over time than no ending at all.
