THE WORDS!... the Words... the words... · 10:03pm Jan 3rd, 2014
"Alien, you have spoken the words. You have spoken them rightly."
Frankly, I hope so. Remember when I promised a double length chapter? Weeellll it's getting sliiiiiiiightly out of hoof. Not that that's a bad thing, I think, but yeah. I've never written a single chapter this long.
And I hope to never to do so again! Heh, at least, not until the ending.
This thing is a monster growing forever beyond my control. All I can do now is shield you from its horrors and hope that you can get away and seek help in time. In all seriousness though, it's looking to be between 10-11k words by the time I finish. I've been working on this for five hours a day for almost two weeks now, and I'm close to wrapping it up, but it's still just not quite there.
And then I need to convince my editor to go through it all, and then we fix the borked up bits, and there shall be much rejoicing.
Look forwards to Adjacency: Chapter 6 soon, at a theater near you!
I can't wait.

Woohoo! Although, trying to figure out how to bring everything all together now and end the chapter has me doing this. A lot:

The Wordening is now complete. The Torment of the Editor has begun.
I'm finally satisfied with the chapter, which has clocked in at an incomprehensible 12,124 words in rough draft form.
...
I can't even begin to say how proud I am of that fact. I never thought I could write a chapter as long as the ones written by my idols here.
I blame Prak.
Be proud. I'm sure it will be awesome.
