Writing Out Of Bounds. Oh, my.

Last night I wrote a couple of key scenes to appear in the later part of Out Of Bounds, and realized...

Oh.

Oh, wow.

If my final scene count turns out to be anything like my outline, I only have 30 more scenes to go. Given I just posted scene 152, my scenes are 1,000 words each, and I've written 30,000 word stories very, very quickly before, that's pretty damned close.

It's doable. I can finish Out Of Bounds this year. I could even, with persistent effort, writing a scene a day, finish Out Of Bounds this month.

Okay, the latter's not likely. But the end is in sight. The story is there.


ETA: Oh, ah, oops, clarification. I've created a misconception here because of the way I tend to write.

I skip around and write later scenes when an earlier scene is stuck, to write while it's fresh and keep myself moving. So I have only 30,000 words left to write. But you have 40,000 words left to read.

See, 10,000 of that is scattered throughout the rest of the story, like stepping stones in the stream. What's left to post is about the length of your average Big Bang fic.

No need to start mourning the end of the fic. 40,000 words is still a small novel and plenty more for you to enjoy.
