Under a Gibbous Moon

I’ve put in a huge push on my novel in the last two days. I had fallen far behind to to my accident. In the last 48 hours I’ve written 7,824 words more words. This brings me to a grand total of 43,037 words. I have less than 7K words left until I reach the 50K word mark.

This would not be a problem except that I have exactly ONE (1) chapter left to write. Not only is it just one measly chapter but it is only one scene. It is the epilogue. Now the prologue for the novel clocked it at just slightly over 1K words so I don’t think that there is any way to stretch this out to 7K. I would say at best I might get 2K words out of it leaving me with a finished novel somewhere around 45K words.

At that point I’m going to have to figure out what I’m going to do next. Do I go back an add in additional scenes? Expand upon what I have already written?

At the very least, I will finish the epilogue tomorrow which will leave me with at least 5 days to figure it out. I feel at least moderately confident that I will be able to scrape together something.
