Writer question.
Has anyone gotten a little anxious about chapter length? Is it too long or not long enough?
How do you know when its the perfect length?

Because I think we need wondrous things in our lives, I decided to donate to help purchase JRR Tolkien’s home to help create a Tolkien Centre:

I don’t know if anything will come of it, but I feel like I should do some little thing for all the joy he’s given me for all these years.

skin of teeth: 50,337 words. not bad as I lost several days to toothache and attempted dentist run. (and missing health aides for family at least half the month)
I will say i don’t like that the competitive widgets on the Nano pages are gone as that helps motivation. Forums really don’t help with wordcount any more than physical write-ins. They pull me out of the stories I wanted to tell.
Last year’s story collection became a new one which may result in nearly 20 stories. I’d hoped to do more originals, but originals require more energy and focus than I had spoons for. I’ll be revising after my hospital stay starting tomorrow… (uggh cubed)

It's Thanksgiving. My mother-in-law invited herself over for dinner and will be here around five. I barely managed to get the place clean. My husband is cranky, I've got cooking left to do, and Woozle just tried to pee on his sister.
...at least the apartment smells like orange cupcakes.

That moment when you go to “Edit Story Info” and change the “WIP” tag on a story to the “COMPLETE” tag.
Kind of mixed feelings, I suppose, especially when it’s something you’ve been working on for a long time.

Well, that took a few weeks longer than it should have, huh?
The final chapter of The Woman in the Statue will be up Monday. That’s not an “I swear it’ll be done by then, PLEASE BELIEVE ME!” kind of thing; it’s done, but I’ve given JayDee an advance copy of every chapter thus far, and I wasn’t about to break tradition for the finale. They’ll have time to read it, and I’ll work on polishing it before posting it on Monday.
Be forewarned, this is the longest chapter I’ve written for this story by far, a little over 20,000 words.
So, what’s next? Well, before anything else, I have some reviews to respond to, and a few stories I need to catch up on in terms of reviews. @Thundercloud should know to expect a review of the grand finale of G.S.P., and I’ll try to catch up on @Tcr’s Last Full Measure, as well as @InvidiaRed’s Rationis.
After that...well, I missed the Halloween party this year, but I’ll be back next year, and of course I have a story planned for this year’s holiday party, which is likely to be my next writing project.

So, it’s been a rough few days. My mom is in hospital with congestive heart failure, exacerbated by COPD, atrial fibrillation, and Parkinson’s. It’s been one step forward and two steps back for the past 4 days, but at least I’m allowed to see her for a couple of hours each day.
So, if I’m a bit more absent, or crankier than usual, I apologize in advance.

I think my phone is trying to get rid of me. The other morning, I took it out of my pocket and found that one of my airline apps was open and had gotten a couple of steps into booking me a ticket to Amsterdam.

Chapter count for The Woman in the Statue is being changed again, this time to 11 chapters. This isn’t because I’ve added a ton more story or anything; it’s just a matter of word count. For instance, even after splitting Chapter 10 into 10 and 11, what I have of the final chapter is still over 11,000 words, and I am not done.
Of course, I wouldn’t be posting this just to say that. Ok, so...*deep breath*
I will be posting Chapter 10 of 11 of WitS one week from today. That chapter is done (and JayDee’s already seen it) so that won’t be a problem. One week after that, Chapter 11 goes up, and we finally finish this.
Full disclosure: I’m terrified. Fingers crossed, everyone!
