67K. Kind of impressed with myself at the moment. Naturally, I have moved chapters all around, but I seemed to have fixed my mess of an ending and even, yay! starting layering in changes to account for the usual unexpected stuff that happened while I was fixing the mess. Like the uncle isn't really who he says he is and I figured out who the villain is in all this. I was surprised, but not totally. Plus, I swapped the names of PE's sister and her youngest niece. Works better this way. One thing is my possibly too hot chapter got moved from nearly the end to practically the beginning and actually seems to have gotten hotter. It's right there on the edge and quite possibly over it. At the moment, which admittedly is far too early the in morning, I think I have a complete story (well, I need the final, final, sum up chapter). But, I don't have any major holes to fill. Now I just have to tie it all together and make it resonate. I know my themes and they're already starting to gel. So, I'm at my favorite part of this work, pulling it together.
