Camp NaNo: Day Sixteen

FINISHED!!!

Yes that is right and the Sins of Atlantis is now finally finished. I’m still in that “OMG I can’t believe I reached the end” state because really it’s been a journey. It’s even longer than I anticipated and I had cynically thought it might reach 50k. Whenever I start a long fic, that’s never my intention. However, estimating story length is a bit like “how long is a piece of string?” it’s just however long it turns out.

I haven’t broken it into chapters yet. Proofing it and breaking it into chapters is a tomorrow job. Also I will be picking Gentlemen of Blood back up as it’s 5k weekend on WriYe so no rest for the wicked, I need to keep typing!

Words Written (this month): 36,949
Final Total (for and the Sins of Atlantis): 58,561 (well pre-proofing anyway)

I made a big push with Gentlemen of Blood at the end of June, as I was writing this fic for the WriYe challenge. So if all goes well I might finish this one early next week. I had cynically thought this might also be a 50k job but I’m now thinking more 20-25k. That leaves the rest of the month to go back and crack on with my original novel that has been languishing since May.

I said that July was going to be the month of finishing things, and thus far I’m 2/4 on the list I made. For once I’m actually doing as intended. Long may it continue!

Current Total (for Gentlemen of Blood): 15,667
