Another chapter down. I'm up to 21,687 words. This book will definitely be my longest yet.

I wrote 2k on a new start I'm titling Falon Half Blood today.  And yesterday I wrote 1.5k on a start I titled Buying In (A Dark Magic User Tale)

I think I might just keep plugging away on the Falon stuff.  Although both of them are actually quite interesting.

Grin,
We had a writing milestone last week. We received our first TV option pay out.... Not quite enough for a cup of coffee, but a payout none the less.

Regards,

Getting close to the end.  Just a few more scenes and then time to start editing and polishing.

WiP is up to 85.5K, I know what scenes need to happen for the finish and how to get there, chugging along writing them.  Can't call it "the final stretch,"  But I can see it from here.  Boo-YAAAA, and suchlike.

Finished first draft a couple weeks ago of my recent project. I'm now working through revisions and editing. Conference this weekend and also one the first weekend in May.

Nice Kevin! And everyone's really plugging away! Congrats. Sorry that i haven't checked in. I set a hard schedule on this WiP and I'm thrilled that I'm right where I wanted to be, but I miss the community here. Promise to hang a bit more often.

That's awesome!

Thanks a lot guys! I stayed up late last night listening to the storms and writing my last chapter. I tweeted this before bed  :D

@ThomasRayMann tweeted at 11:55 PM on Wed, Apr 10, 2013:
After years of brainstorming, writing, trying out ideas, my first full length manuscript is done. I can't believe it.

Now comes the editing!  :o
and great job to everyone else and the amazing progress you're all making!  8)
