Acts 1, 2 and 4, all about 5500ish words
Act 3, 12500ish
yup, that definitely sprouted an extra act in there somewhere.

so, is 5500-6000ish a good size for a part? Or should I chop my Acts in half to post?

First up is the teaser, which is smaller anyway.

I have to make up the template bit and an author's note / warning that doesn't give stuff away of scare people off but makes stuff clear.

I might end up asleep before posting. Feeling unwell just now. Unhelpful.

1. Thanks for asking Nan about punctuating dialogue; I learned (or relearned- it'd been a long time since I'd had to pay attention to those rules) a lot.

2. 5000-5500 words is about average for printed fiction- modern fiction, anyway.

3. We need to do something about the whole set of time rumes that make so much of life happen on Monday morning.

Julia, stupid reality

1. glad my ignorance and minor tantrum could provide a public service
2. okays, I'll post that size then. means it keeps the cliffhangers in the right places.
3. Mondays. the days getting home from cons, when trains are inevitably delayed all over and you sometimes have to run between them and are always left paranoid you are on the wrong one no matter how many times you check. even mondays at home somehow seem to keep all the emotional bits of that.
