A Day of Rest (Sort of)

I did manage to get some writing done today. One chapter for 2,646 words. It took a bit longer to finish than I expected, which meant a second chapter would get split by soccer. Since this particular chapter needs a feel that I have to remain consistent on, I opted not to start it. I’ll […]

The words continue to pile up

Today’s number is 5, 432 and accounts for two chapters worth of words. Both chapters really got tough around the 2200 word mark, but finished strong and went longer than I would prefer. Still, they pushed the story forward and added some twists. This is the phase of a novel that I like. I get […]

Tuscon Friday

I got a chapter written today at 2495 words and it came fairly easily. Yet again it’s a chapter that expands a concept hinted at before which will grow and run through the entire series. I love when this happens in a series. It gives the whole thing a lot more depth and range to […]
