Common Cause Rewrite: Day Five (July 10, 2019)
Chapter Three is done and I am on to Chapter Four - which was the last chapter I posted. It’s the longest of the original chapters and it’s where the majority of the action takes place so I’m expecting it to take a few days’ worth of writing to finish it.
Word count thus far is: 15,525 words or 90.41% of the original word count of 17,171 words. At the rate I’m going, I’m expecting to hit 17,171 words soon. Possibly even tomorrow if I seriously pound the keyboard before work.
My initial plan was that the rewrite would maybe double the original word count - which would technically be 34,342, but let’s round that up to 34,343 because palindromes are the bestest thing ever! Now, I don’t know if I’ll get it that high, but I’ll settle for something closer to 25,752 which is slightly under one and a half times the original length.
Really, the palindromic numbers are just a way of setting an interesting goal. The story will be as long as it needs to be.
