Jul. 4th, 2009 01:03 amAdded another 400 words tonight to the flesh-eating-bacteria story, bringing it to about 5800. It's definitely heading with all speed out of short story territory, and though I hope to revise out a fair bit of it on the second pass, it's not going to make it back down under that magic 7500 word line.
Oh well. The story is as it needs to be. I'll worry about the length later.
Main character was proving to be a bit of a wuss, but I backtracked a bit and beefed up his spine and initiative, so though he's still seriously freaked out he's at least now doing something other than standing there saying "ohgod-ohgod-ohgod" over and over again.
And I got to add a few gory pandemic multiple-drug-resistant flesh-eating-bacteria details. Yummo!
