Dec. 10th, 2008 01:48 pmSince I'd finished chapter 24 of Girl Days, I read through and edited chapter 16 and published it to Fanfiction.net. I think I'll publish chapter 17 this weekend, or by Sunday night at least.
Then I took the night off. I hung out in Second Life with friends.
Today I've written a bit on chapter 25. I'm trying to figure out what I want to include in it. It's basically a wrapup or "time moves on" sort of chapter... no major new plot threads introduced that I need to follow up on immediately, just highlights of events that happen over the next few weeks, setting myself up for chapter 26. I want to skip some 5 or 6 weeks, at least, maybe 2 months ahead.
If and when I get through the "magical girl" storyline chapters 25-30 and beyond (I still have -- it must be at least 5 chapters to add to that to finish off those plots, I believe) then I might want to do another chapter like this that skips months ahead. I'm not really sure how I want to end the whole story... whether I want to end with some things unresolved, or whether I want to write out what happens after Ranma and the gang graduate and maybe who winds up with who. I only have one specific plot that I know I want to deal with at that point, involving Soun Tendo, but if I do that I'll probably have other things to touch on as well.
For what it's worth I've managed about 1,000 words in the last 2 days, I think.
