No choice though...  A lot of unnecessary and redundant exposition in that first chapter... gotta dig the polish out of the turd.

Didn't the Mythbusters actually polish up a fecal matter ball?  ??? ???
(And NO - that was not a comment on PGs writing - his stuff will/would shine no matter
how much drek was on top of it!)

Finished through pass on what I have of TIWTBWO #3, 870 words of additional frame, and 2600 words of new chapter 13. Gosh, I like writing new stuff for a change.

TIWTBWO #3:

Chapter 14: 2735 words.  Stopping because a) work tomorrow and b) want to make up my mind whether I am splitting here (in which case next chapter will be short) or not, as that's not covered what I wanted to cover in this chapter at all.

Total; 59,131 words.

Great job Liz!  It looks like you're within striking distance, so keep charging at it hard!

excellent!  And DKs consistency is awe inspiring.

Side pass into series side story that's a blast to write. 1100 words into it.

1st book from fellow new imprint author comes out April 1st and it received great PW review. I'm 6th in list. Now I'm terrorified. PW review possible? Eek. Find hole with rock to cover me up out of sight.

3300 words, Chapter 15 is done, taking #3 over 60,000 words.  (Working Thu and Sat this week as work is closed Fri.)  This now looks like being 36 chapters in total, or a third as long again as the first two.

I'm glad you're feeling inspired cause from over here its feeling pretty pathetic.  Here I am writing full time and that's all I'm managing?  I need to do better!

Finished with the latest part of the chronicle to the Dresden Files Rpg-campaign I play in. That is now up at 77 pages and slightly over 56 000 words.  Now if only my other writing stuff went as well.

But I have managed to do some writing every day though this year, even if not much every day. Yay me.
