@--lovebug-- True! I can definitely relate to this. We kept on writing and the next thing we knew, it was beyond the goal. Thank you. I'm participating in an AU Fest that is why there is a limit (except the prologue, epi, and profiles).The problem is, I improved my writing technique esp the sensory details and I can't seem to drop that for this AU. Trimming feels like I'm losing the little but important points but I guess, I just need to write what I have in mind (stick to the point like you said) and see what will happen next? Lol. This is not my genre so it is pretty challenging :)
