Well, the cicada plot bunny really gave the Lords of Gondor epic a run for its money in the Finish-a-thon poll! They were tied for quite awhile there, right up until the end! However, Lords of Gondor pulled ahead at the last minute, so that is the tale that I am committed to "finish."
Of course, there really is no way I can finish it in just 8 weeks, which is the amount of time I have to spend on this writing marathon. So I am going to instead choose a set amount of words to write, and that will be my goal.
So, in order to be accountable to myself and to the Finish-a-thon group, I hereby commit to writing at least 8,000 words for Lords of Gondor by the due date of August 13th!
I actually calculated my average chapter size from past chapters and 8,000 words comes to about 3 chapters -- I should be able to handle that, right? *hopes*
I still might have to write that cicada tale, also -- but not until after I've made sure I've done what I need to for the winning tale. ;-)
