uhoh  Sequel? Or expanding this book to fit it in? Expanding. It's not worth a sequel, as it's only a few paragraphs around the story. Besides, the epilogue is something like five or six years after the story. |

Groovy I've had a couple of spots where I forgot something and had to expand, but luckily its also been only a few paragraphs or foreshadowing. |

I just gotta figure out where it will fit, because most of the war preparations would happen towards the middle/end, kinda where I'm at now. But I want the war to actually start. XD I'll probably have it start, and go back a bit to put in a preparation thing. |

I've actually got an entire section in the middle of the novel that I'm going to go back and add 5 to 10 thousand words into. I just don't want to break the chronological order until I'm done. >.< |

Pfft... so fucking far behind now.
>_<
I need to kick myself in the ass here if I want to keep this up. I had all day to write, and all I did was fucking watch youtube all day.

Think I just discovered that my plot will not easily make it over the 50k. Think that may be the reason I have slowed down so drastically - because I don't want to confirm it. Roughly 2 chapters left ... each would need to be 4k. Ouchies  (thought it was 3 chapters but one seems to be redundant) |

Roughly 2 chapters left ... each would need to be 4k. Ouchies (thought it was 3 chapters but one seems to be redundant) I might actually just -barely- make it to 50K. Things are really winding down here... And I've lost momentum. |

I'm in the middle of a writers catastrophe! Major problem.
ORIGINAL PLOT:
MC likes AID.
AID is using MC to prove she is successful Witch.
MC admits to AID and they kiss.
AID admits she never liked him, just used him.
MC goes back to farm.
STORY IS GOING:
MC likes AID
AID used the journey to prove she is successful Witch.
MC kissed AID and admitted he liked her (dragon chapter) AID pulled away unsure.
MC and AID agreed to date after she graduated.
AID graduated!
... and now I'm stuck! Running out of plot for words :S
Only options I can see are:
MC goes back to farm and has memory wiped (dun-worry plausible reason)
MC and AID get together
MC stays in city to help AID and they get together.
BUT THEY WERE NEVER SUPPOSED TO GET TOGETHER DAMNIT!!! THIS IS NOT A HAPPILY-EVER-AFTER BULLSHIT STORY!
(Maybe its me just trying to push characters in a direction they don't want to go ... like unruly children :S *PANIC*)

As time goes by, they forget about each other. Or, you can kill one of them... |

For reference, here's how my plot's turning out.
MC likes FMC, and she likes him, but they're both too afraid to admit it.
MC and co go off on adventure, FMC kicks bucket, co breaks apart.
MC goes on revenge tangent, gets arrested.
