I have about 2000 words typed up for my second novel. No reviews on the first one yet but a couple people have mentioned that they're really enjoying it  :D

Finished this pass on chapter 2 of #3, and did some more small things; next up, fixing chapter 5.

And walking home form work yesterday I figured out what I think is wrong with this and need to redo #3.2 again, though not so thoroughly as last time I hope.

Did about 6k yesterday and completed a Spalding shortstory.  Brought the story up to 17k... well really 15k because I had a second 2k short story in there as well.  But anyway that grand total of 17k is now off to the brother and we're going to meld it in with a couple of Jason shorts and make another 150 page (or there abouts) little novella.

Thank you.

I am a bit miffed that it has been basically six months since I wrote anything new, but I really need to get all the dents hammered out of TIWTBWO #1 and #2 and the first ten chapters or so of #3 before I write the rest of #3.  (And all of this is procrastinating from the TISBWO revisions and the TISBWO prequel revisions.)

We've got to all help encourage each other, Neuro.  And besides I know you can get through it if you stay dedicated.  (dedication something that seems to be sorely lacking over here where I'm at for some reason -whistles aimlessly to the side while avoiding anyone's gaze- )


Falon - 104K

going to try for one more chapter today!

Falon - 106k (Banged out that extra)

Falon 108k - finished with a 6k day!! Hurray the battle against sloth and laziness has been won for one more day.


always follow the dream,

And got two more chapters done afterwards yay.

I want to reread the bit at the end of chapter 2 again as it may need one more tweak, but then 8 to 11 get a clear pass.

Another short chapter, but the break was too natural to pass up. 62,508 words.
