anthimeriaAt a semi-reasonable pace. Fourth of July weekend was awesome, and I had a few good writing days last week, and then this weekend sucked and I've picked at it the last few days. But it's moving.
Current word count: 13,579
Not a bad count for slightly less than two weeks of work.
On the other hand, I have a suspicion this book's going to have the opposite problem that Skywatch did--I suspect it's going to be massively long. Considering I'm 13.5k in and I just finished page one of my ten page outline . . . well. Let's just hope it's padded with exposition and the other pages of my outline require fewer words, because unless a miracle occurs, I will likely never ever be able to sell a 120k-word first-adult-book urban fantasy novel. High fantasy, maybe. Urban fantasy probably not.
