Yesterday
I had mentioned the stats for my WIP manuscript up to that point: a total of
200 pages in 29 chapters with a total of approximately 50,500 words. I also
said I anticipate needing an additional 4/5 chapters and about 8,500 words to able
to type that elusive final period of my manuscript. Well I was wrong.
As
I mulled over what to write next I began to vaguely remember I had already
written several more chapters with those additional words. As you might expect
with this thought running through those little grey cells of my mind I began to
search high/low for this. When I had begun to give up hope of finding it, I
found one of those small external drives you can store your files on, around
lunchtime two days ago, dusty at the bottom of a two-drawer file cabinet I hadn’t
looked at for as long as I hadn’t looked at this manuscript.
I’ve
spent the time since slowly going over these found pages just like I’ve already
done with the rest of this manuscript; and by the time I had finished late last
night, I had about what I had anticipated I would need to type that elusive
final period, in fact I added about 8,700 additional words, 6 additional
chapter with 32 additional pages. My intuition proved to be correct in regards
to this; however it is now that I will need those same additional 4/5 chapters
and about 8,500 words to able to type that elusive final period of my
manuscript.
So
once again I anticipate I will be complete this manuscript by the end of this
month. In the meantime it’s back to my old routine of reading/reviewing of
books and the usual other postings I do. Now I’m off to start doing the other
things I needed to do in my last report.
THANKS
for those supportive private messages I keep getting from you “guys”, I truly
appreciate them.
Love
