Finally got my brain into gear on TISBWO prequel yesterday, which I have been trying to do for way too damned long.  Then there was a power cut so I could not do anything about it other than Mull Furiously, but today I made a through pass on 30,000 words of what will probably end up about 100kwords long.

Mildly OCD. Please do not troll.

kittensgame, Sandcastle Builder, Homestuck, Welcome to Night Vale, Civ III, lots of print genre SF, and old-school SATT gaming if I had the time.  Also Pandemic Legacy is the best game ever.

And now I have finished that pass. 102,500 words.  a handful of small things noted, some of which need a bit of research which I am doing on my trusty Internet while eating dinner; I may well do those tomorrow.

Within 6k of finishing YA Sci-Fi novel.  Was 12k away last Friday, and I has more writing juice today if my neck tension stops messing with my left eye...(I'm pretty sure that's a bad thing to have happen...)

Way to go!  That's a record book length for you isn't it?  Congradulations on finishing the book!

Remaining small things on that pass done; it's coming out about 104kwords.  And that I hope will finally be that (short of a publishing professional requesting changes, of course.)

Thanks!

And yes, this is the longest thing I've ever written. About twice as long as my first book. It'll probably come down a bit in editing, though.

That's my Locked Within trilogy done. Aside from edits or the odd short story I have in mine, the next thing I write will be completely different.

1200 words on TIWTBWO #3 tonight, and that chapter is falling together, I am just not sure that after a week like this I can keep my eyes open long enough to do any more useful work on it; maybe during the day tomorrow.

Chapter done; 3900 words, which takes this book over 50k.
