It's very common for writers to get stuck around the 30-40K mark, as most novels are 80K. Stephen King almost scrapped THE STAND for the same reasons and a huge plot issue. After a lot of thought and agonizing, a nuclear bomb solved it. Best of luck, can't wait to read it.Sean Patrick Reardonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14051252366031997054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1826978379101995893.post-46071955712963119712010-08-16T23:30:04.753+01:002010-08-16T23:30:04.753+01:00That's FANTASTIC news, Col - very well done!
