Chapter 29 is up!
Mar. 15th, 2019 10:35 pmFor anyone following Yellow Tape and Coffee, Chapter 29: Alliances and Betrayals, is now up.
This chapter is 5,964 words, bringing the total to 200,594. Which is a lot, but by no means a record for a single novel. It is slightly longer than Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (but almost 60,000 words less than Order of the Phoenix). (The record for a single novel is considered War and Peace, at just over 560,000 words).
At any rate, only two more chapters to go, which are currently (in their first-draft form) at 8886 and 3623 words each. Considering that most chapters seem to have expanded rather than shrunk as I edited them, we'll see how much I end up with.
Those chapters will have to wait a while, though. I've got a couple big projects coming up which are going to take up most of my time for the next few weeks. But even so, hopefully I'll have uploaded the last chapter by mid April. Looking forward to being done! (Though, there's another pass at editing, using all of your feedback, before I start hunting down agents.
Anyway, it's up at the usual spot. And a million thank you's to everyone who's been reading and encouraging me so far!
