gulp
so i bit the bullet and let seppo read up to last night’s progress. i was such a nervous wreck. he seemed to enjoy the “dead fish handshake” scene, much more so than i could have hoped for. yay! made me feel really good about it. my hands were as clammy as those of the protagonist in that scene.
i think that i won’t reach the end of the story at 50K words. i’m supposed to be 25% to the goal now, but the story is not nearly at the 25% marker. i wonder how i will feel at the end of the month, whether i will want to continue to finish the story or take a long break.
