I'll admit that I totally misjudged the pacing of my story. I took seriously all the admonitions about how you could write tons of description in order to rack up word count, and it was great fun being atmospheric, but I realized that something was off when I was like 20k in (or was it 30k?) and one of the three main characters hadn't appeared yet. Then I started introducing subplots. And it became clear that I hadn't needed to worry about word count because I had a 100k+ novel on my hands and yet my goal was only 50k. Hmmm.
And I still don't know who the hero ends up with in the end...
