idle thought #691

most of the reason I’m only writing about 1000 words per chapter for Shadowed Suspicion specifically is that it gives *some* sort of goal that I can generally complete every week. Even if it’s at 2 AM the morning before. It works for this particular series, but I generally wouldn’t do it for any other series. (Then again most of my stuff I tend to write the way that feels right, leading to wildly different variations between series. The Secret Histories only works because I’m so many chapters ahead; otherwise getting out a 4000 word chapter one week might be a problem--edit since writing: it is, and there's a reason many of the chapters lately haven't been 4000 words.)
