That is the total number of words in my final version of Cici & the Curator.
I’d call that a good sign — well, it is a good sign. When I went to sleep last night, I was thinking, maybe, maybe I’d even finish writing today. The possibility existed.
And then, about 4AM, I woke up to the thought, “Why didn’t the wedehunda just teleport?”
Why didn’t the wedehunda just teleport?
WHY DIDN’T THUNDER AND LIGHTNING JUST TELEPORT?!?!?!
So, yeah, I will not be finishing the first draft of Cici & the Curator Search for Treasure today.
And I’d write some more on this blog post, but I have a whole lot of revising to do. Sigh.
Funnily enough, not at all my image of the dogs, but the image that the AI created based on my own words. So, okay, then.
Glad you spotted what needed revising before you released it out into the world.
50% chance, maybe more, that not a single other person would have noticed or cared about that gaping plot hole. If it moves fast enough, people don’t nitpick usually, even with the gaping plot holes. And anyone who reads this book (ie a sequel to a book that didn’t sell much) is probably pretty predisposed to be kind to it. But it would have bothered me!
