Except that it isn't the last chapter. not QUITE.
But the things that remain to be said are, while necessary, not long-winded. I may add an epilogueish kind of coda to the thing. And THEN I'm done.
Current word count: a smidge under 93 000 words. With this epilogue-thingy still to be added, I'm anticipating maybe 2500, 3000 more - which brings it in squarely to somewhere between 95 and 96K. Respectable. More than respectable.
I am exhausted, exhilarated, excited and pleased.
I may finish this novel tomorrow. Wish me luck.
