I dived into Kindred thinking it was going to be a much shorter story than Secret, but I’m at 8100 words right now. Of course, I may end up trimming some stuff out after reading back through it again — I’ve done that already on this story — but it obviously isn’t going to come out below 10k words, where I expected it to.
The next couple of scenes are the ones that bring everything together and further fan the flames. Then, it’s the shocking revelation, and a sweet little ending. Shooting to finish it this weekend, but I always say that, don’t I?
