A Book of Tongues: THUD

[handful_ofdust]

Words added: 769. Chapter thus far: 6,500+. Whole chapter: ...over 9,000. Agh! Though I know at least 1,000 of that is notes which will be consolidated, cut and fall by the wayside, which should make me feel better. Man, what the hell. Am I simply incapable of doing anything quickly anymore? Was I ever?

This brief freak-out brought to you by the numeral 12 (for midnight, which it is now officially after) and the substance snot (as in what's currently making me want to shoot myself in the head, just to release the pressure). I'm sure I'll feel better in the morning, once I've dragged Cal to school and my own ass home again...

In other news, I watched my first official Torchwood episode (besides Day Five of Children of Earth, that is). "Greeks Bearing Gifts", Season One. Are they all like that?

WHOA. One chapter is 9K words long? I'm thinking you're going to have to break that up, don't you think?

Or get a bigger boat. Hyuk.

Ugh, please don't even give me that option, or I know I'll end up taking it.;) But no, actually--considering that the previous chapter was over 10,000 words long, I think I can get away with having two of those in a row, if I can then manage to make the other chapters all around 3,000/4,000/5,000. And I think I can, damn it!
