Cassandra posting dates - Delay imminent

I'm terribly sorry to everyone, but I will not be posting Chapter 19 of Cassandra tomorrow (Monday). This does NOT mean the story will be abandoned. I'm planning to have it ready by Friday

After a few weeks of struggling with the final three chapters of Cassandra I haven't been happy with how it is going. As a result I have had to back off and do some major rewriting. I could try to rush things but, to be honest, that would be sloppy and unprofessional. I had a similar dilemma writing 'The Frozen Balance'. I tried to rush one chapter... I had to pull it and apologise. So I swore 'never again'.

It may well end up that I have to add at least an extra chapter above the already planned twenty one. Hopefully no-one will complain too much at that, and before anyone jumps in to say they hope I add lots more, could I just take you through the maths (yes, I'm writing as a Brit in my blog)?

  • The average chapter/episode length of Cassandra is around 6,000 - 6,500 words.
  • I write at an average of 500 words an hour.
  • For every hour spent writing, another hour is taken up with planning, research and proofing.
  • In other words 26 hours per chapter that you all will read in under 30 minutes.

:)

Kind regards
