I sent out Chapter 19 last week, and it was a whopper. Thirty-Eight pages! I feel like this is my best chapter yet, and the story is beginning to roll forward on its own.
Tonight, I completed Chapter 20. Originally, I meant Chapter 20 to be two scenes, but after completing what I intended to be Scene 1, I realized that I had covered all the material I had mapped for Scene 2. It didn't take as many words as I originally had planned.
So instead of forcing the content of chapter 21 into Scene 2 of Chapter 20 (are you following me on this?), I decided to call this one a chapter.
Rereading, the last paragraph is a great cliffhanger ending for a chapter regardless of its length. So, here is Chapter 20, only 27 pages shorter than Chapter 19.
