Right on, George! I'd much rather have to remove unnecessary things and clean up orphans, remove words here and there to save a line, etc, then have to ad significant events.
I was initially worried mine was going to be too short, but it looks like it's exactly on schedule.
Page 79 now!!!! 1/2 way through my big scene. I've also added another animal, and 4 more characters (3 named). Really happy with it so far, and it's been edited already, so I don't see too much work on the rewrite at all.
I'm on page 68. I went ahead and wrote the ending since I had it worked out. Ten pages from one end to the other. Trouble is that I now have to fill 20-25 pages with something between page 57 and the end.
I was worried about mine being too short. And it was when I was done with it but it seems to never stop expanding. I already cut off on dialog but it's at 89 pages...(when initially it was only 75) and I still need to add one more scene to plug another plot hole. I think the main thing to think of is - is the story on the thin side. If it's not - you're covered, you'll find what to write about eventually, I think.
Made it through the first days at my new job, first two days of Grad School and am somewhat struggling to find any brain cells that have not been claimed by family to dedicate to finishing this draft...

I'm in 68 pages...most of the way through Act 2 and needing to wrap things up to set up Act 3...Spent some time today chewing on it; just need to put it on paper...
The Zoo sounds good; reminds me of the old Scorpions song...

LOVE the Scorps and The Zoo! Incredible band and song. SWEET!
Page 89. The finale looms in front of me. All the loose ends are coming together for one MONSTROUS showdown. All is about to be revealed. AAAAYYYEEE!!!!
Wolfe, you're there, bud. You're right there. You can easily complete this in time. You've still got a week and a half! I know you can do it, and if you need anything, just holler!
I just may be finishing my first draft today. It looks like it will be longer than I thought, but that's probably due to the fact that I was padding parts, because I thought it was going to be to short. I'll just have to clean up those things next week, and come in just under 100 pages.
I'm done - 89 pages, but there's one scene in the middle that's missing, should take up a page, and I have to write it in. I know what it is and how it'll go but can't get to it.
I've send it to Pia already.
Yeah edited but am going to give it another round. Rewritten - kind of, more like cleaned up and fixed the inconsistencies. I'm planning to a grand rewrite after all the feedback.
