The Author's Progress

I've just finished Chapter Five of Touching Indigo, which might not sound like much at first. But since my chapters average 17-18 pages, that brings me up to approximately 23,200 words.

I'm nearly a quarter done! Woo hoo!

*shades eyes with hand, peers hopefully at the creative horizon*

There's a city shining in the distance. I can almost read the words THE END written over the gates...

Interesting - I agree that it takes more doing than you expect, to trust your own stylistic choices. You feel the need for some sort of validation - but at the same time, you never quite lose that stubborn sense of 'it works better *my* way.'

Uh, that was me, by the way. :) LJ has the disconcerting habit of kicking me off at random.
