I don't think I'm gonna make it. Chipping away at France. Desperation is kicking in.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Viva La France! You'll make it. We'll keep kicking you in the butt until you do.

If you need another set of eyes, I should be able to look at it this week, Allyson. Profile addy is good.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Allyson, send it. If you need another reader, I'll be glad to take a look.
Gud, on your stuff tomorrow.
Um. Complete sentences may return eventually.

Why oh why did I decide to make that story for Steampunk Tales a serial? WHYYYYYY? How the hell am I going to write the next section? MY DEADLINE IS IN THREE DAYS. I am half-convinced that writing the first part was a lucky fluke. I spent all day re-reading the first installment I wrote, then staring at a blank document. I finally started getting words tonight, and have just sent the first 1K words off to my sanity check people, because I have no idea if it's any good. WHY DID I DO THIS TO MYSELF?
AND I need to write a proposal and polish the sample chapter for the YA book/series I want to do, because my agent wants to see it. Ohgodohgod. Why am I so scared of writing fiction?
t the whinycakes writer tag never closes, sorry

Deep breaths. You'll do great.
At chapter 14, I've realized my revised version is on track for something like 70-80 chapters. Is that an insane number? On the positive side I try to end each chapter on a hook of some sort so I'll end up with a lot of hooks.

They vary. About 2000 words on average right now. I averaged about 5700 words per chapter in the rough draft.
