I have now reached a few hundred words over 78,000. I can’t believe that this draft is already 7,000 words longer than the first draft, and I’m just over halfway finished with it. I’m still working on XIII. And I’m finding it amazing how much you can learn from your characters. I think I learned a lot about, not only Leaf’s character in this chapter, but about people in general. I’m still debating on how to go forward from here on out. I don’t want to make things too convenient for them, but I also don’t want to send them on a run-around. So I have look for some balance in between the two. I’m not quite sure what I’ll go with, so I’ll mention more when I figure it out.
Two days ago Sarah wrote the first FanFic for my book. It was severely OOC in almost every sense, but it was entertaining and humorous. Now I’m wondering if it can really be called a FanFic, if the person writing it knows so little about the book that everything is OOC. Oh well, I think there are only two or three people in the world so far who know more about what will happen than Sarah does. Those are either people who’ve already read the first draft, or the people who politely sat through the my tedious recap of everything that happens.
