Against the Wind

I started Against as a novella. But now it's looking more like a small novel. After writing a few hundred more words of it, I realized that the estimated target of 45000 words won't be enough. I reckon I'm in the vicinity of 60% of how much of the story I've gone though so far. That leaves me with 40% to go. I'll most definitely need more than 12000 to tell that. So I've upped it by another 5k - as the meter on the sidebar suggests.

The story should take a turn now and pick up into the climax. There are still episodes that I want to get on with though and I suppose some of the characters back stories will have to be puffed up a bit. It still feels an easier novel to write if only I can focus on it more... see what I mean, I should be working on it instead of posting this!

I'm gonna go...

I went!
