State of the WIP Address

So, readers, I, your humble author, will address the state of my works in progress, in no real order.

Inevitable
Chapters completed: 51
Chapters total: 71 or so
Progress: It's the main story I'm working on these days. I have mapped this story out to the end... yes, even the bitter end. I'm suspecting that these last 20 chapters will be a bit longer than normal, to get all the info in. Not sure on the time line, but I'm suspecting about one-and-a-half three months. You read that right.

Switchback
Chapters completed: 11
Chapters total: Zillions (Actually, I dunno)
Progress: I'm writing Switchback slowly because it has to be right. There is no happy fix.The subject matter demands thought, and so I need to go slowly. Also, I can't concentrate on this story too much, or else I go crazy. It's very depressing because it's not unreal.

And when I say "zillions," I mean that there are three parts to this story. I think part one, that we're currently in, will have about 25 chapters or so. Part two will be about the same length as part one. Part three... I have no idea. Much will happen. Not Inevitable long, but probably longer than part one. I think that's probably next on tap after I finish Inevitable. Not sure how much I'll have done before Danse Macabre comes out, however. So far, nothing in Micah is directly contradicting my story. Well, nothing I can't handle.

Candlelight
Chapters completed: 6
Chapters total: 15 or so
Progress: It's slow, as we all know, but I know how it ends. As all here know, it's not a priority as things go.

Letterbox
Chapters completed: 5
Chapters total: ??
Progress: I'm stalled. I jumped into the fic without really having an out. It's not an abandoned fic. I'll have an ending to it. Some day.

Magnolia
Chapters completed: Two
Chapters total: Five
Progress: Oh, the dreaded sex scene. Plus I'm starting to wondering what I'm doing, having Anita have a one-night stand. Maybe I'll have to write a on-shot "repercussions of Anita having sex with a total stranger to feed the ardeur" fic.

Also, an ZOMG!!11!!eleventy-one!!! I found the Firefly DVDs at Best Buy! No waiting for them to come through the mail! Plus I got the Harry Potter 2-disc set. Oh, retail therapy.
