Chapter 29, page 202 of Monster Belt. 77,561 words total. I've written the whole novel but am editing and building and digging and increasing the word count and drawing out the story and changing the slant and...keep going.
Jess has decided to leave London and the job she thought she always wanted. For what? A different kind of life. It needs to be a bigger, scarier decision than I've made it. She's given up a career, the one she's worked towards, of course it's a massive decision. Or is it? When we have that bolt of insight, is it then quite easy because it seems the only road possible?
Have to project doubt without her appearing weak. My heroines tend to have dilemmas and hang ups, but they must also show their strength. And she's got the biggest monster of all to face soon.
Right. Do it.
