GUYS.
The first chapter of Agent Carter - Now is Not the End - broke 9,800 words!!!
I am absolutely floored by this. I refused to look at the word count until I finished the chapter (literally, I taped a piece of paper over my computer screen so I wouldn’t peek), and I can’t believe I wrote so much.
I was tempted to break this episode and its successors into 2 chapters each, but since I want the whole of Phase One to be a single book, I need to keep all 18 episodes their own chapters to avoid hitting 100 chapters on the work (roughly 42 chapters from films, plus 18 episodes of Agent Carter and 20-something episodes of Agents of SHIELD). It just wouldn’t work out.
I mention in the foreword that these chapters likely aren’t meant to be read in one sitting unless you have a bit of time on your hands, but I think this single chapter proves my point. It beats the second-longest chapter by over 3,000 words!
That being said, thank you so much for bearing with me. This semester of university got a little tough, and I started slacking with the writing, but I’m going to try and finish Agent Carter (if not both seasons, at least the first one) by the time Captain Marvel drops in a few months. Then, I’ll start rolling out the chapters weekly while I write that and the following five films (IM, IH, IM2, Thor, and Avengers).
