Last night I finished chapter 24 of my current manuscript, Daughters of Darkness (working title). I’m about 84k words in, and I’m targeting 120k-125k as the length of the first draft.
After a writing session, I frequently tweet about what I just wrote, making silly little comments on the subject of the scene. I thought it might be fun to go back and recap those tweets here in one post. I’m not putting all of them in here – just selected tweets – but I think this is more than half.
Here they are:
