Confession of a Reluctant Windbag · 5:57pm Mar 22nd, 2020
So, good news: I've finished the first draft of the sixth Iota Force story, meaning I can start getting the fifth ready for publication (I'm hoping to always be at least one story ahead of publication to both give me a buffer and so I can have a bit of distance between writing and editing a story, so i can look at it a bit more objectively).
The bad news? Well, when I started it, I intended it to be a fairly simple story - just a fun little dungeon-crawl-esque adventure through a short series of trials then a bit of a wrap-up. In a sense, filler, but hopefully not in a bad way, just keeping things enjoyable and interesting between major turning points.
...
Current word cound of first draft: Eighty-nine thousand, eight hundred and one.

Help!
Yeah... I'm gonna need some assistance on this one.
I’ll definitely still read it, word counts don’t scare me!
I've stories explode on me in the past. Good work in being able to wrestle the thing to some kind of conclusion; that's far from guaranteed.
