Writing Update
Still well here! Australia's in a good place right now in the pandemic, I hope it continues. My best wishes to all readers stuck in less comfortable circumstances. xx School goes back in a couple of weeks for my kids, which will be an anxious time if case numbers pick up again, but so far so good.
I've done some writing today, and wrapped up the drafts of chapters 25 and 26 of the next "Perfectly Normal" fic. It was going to be one long chapter, but it got a bit too long so I split it up into two chapters of 4.7K and 7.4K words, which I think works much better. I try to keep 10K as my max cutoff for a chapter, and 4K is my minimum these days.

I was recently wondering how you might be fairing. I'm glad all is well. 😊
I've just spent the past five days rereading and editing my draft fic. The story's so long, and the writing's taken so long to do, that I was starting to forget details of my own story. My memory has been refreshed, some errors caught, and some forgotten plot points noted down for inclusion in upcoming chapters.
How many chapters do you expect for the fic? Hope you are still safe!
Thanks, still safe! Australia's doing well. Kids are back at school, which is kind of stressful, but numbers are low so I'm trying not to worry. Hubby is still working from home. You take care too. xxI am currently working on chapter 27. I have plotting notes added into my draft after that which give me an estimated total of 32 chapters to finish the fic (so 6 chapters to go including this one, 24K to 60K words). However, in my experience my fics always bloat out more than I expect, so 32 chapters is the absolute *minimum* needed to finish the fic. It's likely to end up being more than that to wrap it up, once I start fleshing things out.
Ahhhhhh, thank you! Super excited for it, I’ve gotten a few other people into the fic and I can honestly say that each of them cried while reading. You are an amazing writer!
