I had an idea for the start of a completely unrelated project (if you look at my pinned post you'll see I have a lot of ideas I want to write). Decided to get it down because I really liked it. Wrote 840 words, which is small for me. These words felt like a good stopping point considering the content covered in the chapter.

That's when I decided to write this book, Nemesis, with The Raven & The Dove rules. What does this mean?

Looking at The Raven & The Dove, i clearly did not give a monkey about word count. I've got chapters that are as little as 300 words versus ones as much as 1.6k. Both the chapters work, because they achieve the objectives I wanted them to. The shorter ones don't feel like a waste and the longer ones aren't just some tedious thing dragging on words so I can have words.

So I went and made a chapter 2 of Nemesis, despite chapter 1 being 840 words. I might pull a Dreamer and combine the chapters later, but this feels like an accomplishment right now. I didn't think I'd be writing Nemesis anytime soon, but ideas know how to get you. Now I'm on the second chapter of Nemesis and it's great, even if I end up combining the chapters later.
