RE: Terminal - [Short Story - Costa Concordia Shipwreck]
Yeah, I've been there. The word count goes up and up and you're just beginning to get into the juicy bits. It's a struggle! But it's fine. I think this kind of story is more about the action, the mystery, the big reveal, and you did it nicely.
Super true. It's worse when you've written the whole thing and find you're like 400 words over, and then surgical cutting must begin. It's a slaughter of words.
Hahaha! Exactly my experience in the matter.
