promenyI have written up to 32,000 words now. However, the last 2,000 words that I wrote made up a single scene, and not two chapters. I don't know why the chapters are all approximately 1,000 in length; that is just how it is.
The scene is perhaps both the most disturbing, and the most metaphorical, described in the book. I can't give it away, but I can say that it really tries to convey a lot of subliminal meaning, and is a bit symbolic. My readings of Jung sort of influenced me, in a way.
My friend, who was at one time my boss, finally read what I had sent to her so far (I only sent her the first 3,000 words or so) and she said that it was very well written. I hope that it has stayed that way; I don't know how good my story is, but I can at least say that the book is at a very different place than it was in the beginning.
Funny, though, how the original ending has now changed. I wanted to warp Saranna into a completely evil character, but now I think that I'm going to allow most of her innocence and goodness to remain. That will make her more sympathetic, and add more tragedy and meaning to the story.
In other news, we are to see the potential roommate today. He is supposedly a cool guy, but he is bringing a dog with him. I really don't know what to do about that; I don't like most dogs (Blue Heelers are usually an exception).
