"Alterations" (chapter 14) is looking to be over 10,000 words or so right now and I'm still working on the final scene for the chapter. There are some pivotal events in this chapter and hopefully a couple surprises. "Reversals" overall is looking like it's going to be a reasonably lengthy novel. Some of my chapters are as long or longer than some of the "books" in the genre I see on Amazon. I find that interesting. By that measure, I'm writing a "book" every 3 months or so! That's pretty good, right? ;) I know, need to finish the entire story and much quicker. Too many distractions in my life. I did line up my critiquer for last weekend and then blew through my deadline. Now I'm aiming for this weekend.
This last scene might surprise me though. It has to be one of the more dramatic moments in the novel. I first envisioned the key plot points of it over a year ago and I'm FINALLY writing it. Characters will be irrevocably changed. Be interesting to see where the characters take it now that I'm finally here.
