I'm declaring the outline for Gunwitch2 "done enough". Any additional work I do on that is goldbricking. Dawdling. Not, in fact, writing. The outline will evolve during writing, but for a day or two this week I can pretend that I know how everything goes.
I *might* start writing tomorrow. Maybe. Or maybe I'll let the whole thing "gel" for a day,
then start. Because I'm a wuss sometimes.
The word-count for the outline is 5600. That's longer than I expected, but still in the ballpark for
an outline written by me.
My target for the book is ~100K words (AKA, about the same length as
Gunwitch). With 24 planned chapters, I think that won't be a problem. Anything from 90K to 110K words is acceptable, of course.
How long will it take to write? I have no estimates that I'm willing to make public.
