A PS here. Just got two ideas that will make my last chapter longer. I started it and something came out I wasn't expecting. Toward the end of the first writing I decided the MC needed to change so I made him too worried about his second job and keeping his Identity a secret. This chapter would be a perfect place to show that. So I am.

A second thought was that this would also be a good place to explain how he got into this second job. I always knew how but wasn't sure where to place it. So there will be a vampire fight after all. A flashback would add words to the novel.

Okay now I'm done.


Twelve chapters and 68,000 words. Of course I still need to go over it again and I will be adding at least two thousand more words. I guess-imate between two and five thousand more words.


That's about right for a first book I believe.

I had my words when I needed them, but I am still not finished. At around 85k, I'm only at about a quarter of my outline.

Wow, you may have a trilogy on your hands. [Smile] If you use all your outline.
