 Stuck...

My 'fantasy', first sequel to 'Days in the Night', was several chapters in and running so smoothly before it suddenly stuck.
My 'Hard SF' Convention space-tale has two more major chapters drafted, but they follow a chapter / episode I must write and cannot...
Just need time... |

| I write in Finnish so the numbers aren't comperable. Hopefully, I'm about half-way through in the first draft. |

Well....I haven't really determined how many pages this will be, and word count is meaningless, but I already have twenty-two poems and twenty horrorku set aside for my forthcoming poetry collection. Fourteen of the poems and eighteen of the horrorku are previously unpublished in any print or on-line zine, although a few have appeared on my blogs and in forums.
Once I determine the total number of poems I'll have, then I start working on the illustrations.

It's not so much the word count that's important as how those words are used. Diction is vital. I have some horrorku that may have only six to ten words, but those six words have to pack a big punch.
Besides, I have yet to bring them all together in one file. So I don't know the overall word count anyway. I can only guess at the page count so far - and I'm guessing I have about twenty pages. That's not counting pages for illustrations, which I haven't even really started on yet.
It might not sound like a lot, but poetry collections aren't novels.

I'm about 2500 words in -- which means I'm 2/3 the way through the story. I'll be on the next one in no time. It'll probably be longer. Perhaps 10,000 words.
