oh, and–

Oh, oh, and I sent of HEART OF STONE to Jennifer. That’s all the news that’s news today. :)

wow, go me

Wow, go me. I got another 1250 or 80 or something words on TQB done this evening, for a total of about 2900 today, which isn’t significantly more than yesterday but which for some reason makes me go “cool!” a lot. :) Closing in on 4K on this chapter. I remembered tonight that I’m theoretically writing this book on spec, and that sort of technically speaking I don’t really have to keep working on it after I’m done with the first 3 chapters, until I hear back from the proto-editor.…

zibblt

Zibblt. Pfht. Headache. Writing-induced, evidently. I was concentrating pretty hard on what I was doing. 1610 words written on TB, and if I manage my 1K on TQB this afternoon I’ll break 10K for the year. *waves a little flag* *yawn* But TB is starting to feel more like I’m putting a story together, which is good, and I’m starting to come to terms with the idea that it’s okay if it’s a story that happens on different levels from the first book in the series.

My goal, for the moment, is to do my daily quota of 1100 words, and that’s supposed to be on my main project, which is at the moment TB. Then if I can get another 1000 words written on TQB, I’ll really…

thud!

Thud! 1700 words written on TB today. I’ve finished rewriting chapter 14, which is partly old material and partly new, and know where I’m going in ch. 15, which is going to be *entirely* new. 16 might be entirely new, too, which means the current 15 and 16 will probably end up partly in 17 and 18 and partly be tossed out on their ears. I should be at 50K when I’m done with the ch. 16 rewrites, and that ought to be pretty close to halfway through the book.…
