I believe I have a good chance of finishing another chapter of my story before my self-imposed deadline—June 6th, that is. By then, Saturnine will be over 350k words long, which would make me feel kinda proud… if not for all the noise around Unexpectedly Green Journey, a 1.5 million word story that recently got submitted to hosted games.
Seriously, am I the only one who finds these super-long games kinda demoralizing? It’s hard to tell yourself “it’s not the size that matters” when the size is all that matters to many people, and the difference between your size and someone else’s has a whole seven digits.
