Oh No!

I have just finish flushing out chapter 49 when I realized something - it is too damn long. It is over 9000 words. So, I have no choice but to split the chapter. It splits nicely in the middle so there is not problem there. And the chapter arc is fine.

Oh my. I am afraid to look at chapter 50.

Well, Chapter 49 had to deal with two people - Elizabeth and Darcy. I needed to add a scene to Elizabeth's story. I had even written - Don't forget to write the Lizzy and Jane scene. So since I had to add it and with the enhancement to Darcy's story I had way too many words.

So yesterday and today I worked on the chapter. It is providing more depth where I had telling paragraphs before. So I will have a chapter 49a and 49b - and will post together. Since the timeframe was the same (or nearly the same time period) I don't think it should be separate chapters.)

Ah, some of my readers will be pleased others, I think are anxious to get to the end. lol Oh well, I am not delaying who the falcon is. Geezh. I am not perfect! lol

They both need a lot of polishing but I think everyone will like the chapter(s) much better. And going for something better is always a goal that should be maintained.
