I was serious when I set myself the goal of finishing “God Save the Queen” in November, and I seriously devoted myself to the task. All the same, I didn’t quite make it. I put the last word in before going to bed on December 2nd.
In my defense, it was a bigger project than I had realized. The initial story ran three chapters, at just over 8,500 words; by the time I was done, it was six chapters, and almost 22,000 words. Pending![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sroni’s approval, this collaborative work will bulk 250% of its original form.

I just got this news last week: my son is getting set to go on a mission trip to Jamaica over spring break. He’s the only one in the family who’s never been out of the country, and is looking forward to becoming a world traveler like the rest of us.
Okay. Finally done with “God Save the Queen” (unless sroni wants to revise my revisions, in which case it could go back and forth for a while). I have to prepare for and complete the duty in Virginia, but once that’s done, it will be time for me to get started on “Queen’s Gambit”. And only seven months after sroni finished her draft of the story!
