182 pages into my second draft, and right now, it looks as if I'm going to have to rewrite the entire ending.  Or at least some large part of it.  I have decided that my protagonist actually has to shoot the antagonist with her very own hands.  Or stab, bite, or pinch him, at least.   You'd think that would have been obvious, when I was writing it the first time, but you'd be wrong.  On the bright side, I'm almost finished with the part of it that I had written before.  About 40 more pages until I have the same page length.  And I know the thing will run longer than that.  I'm thinking about three hundred, in the end, but I'll see how it goes, first.

Once I have all the structural things cleared up, I think it'll be better.  I wrote another ten pages which weren't in the orriginal, yesterday or the day before, and added them, and I feel pretty good about that.

I'm finally approaching the end of the class that I hate, and debating the use of taking another round this fall.  It would be a different professor, but I'm still hesitant.  There seems to be an atmosphere in the department that I'm not sure I can live with.
