90K and counting...

Forging ahead.
   90,000 words in and the novel is forging ahead. How much longer? Never an easy question. A few more chapters should do it. Then the Prince of the Furies will be ready. Well, almost. Editing and putting together that dreaded promised glossary are still ahead, but it will work out fine in the end. And oh yes, one more map. Yikes! Thank you for your patience. 

   Also, for those who have not read Passage of the Acolyte, books one and two, I have some ideas to get books into your hands. Maybe a Black Friday sale? Kidding aside, I will look into getting kindle books for FREE, and selling the hard copies as low as I can manage it -- even if I have to sell them myself. Keep you posted.

Details, details...

The excuse of slow-writing knows no bounds. At 60,000 words, I could pat myself on the back; but many others crush my speed with their dedicated writing schedules.

There are plenty that do, and they do it well. To write well takes practice, patience, and a whole lot of opinion -- the friendly stranger sort. My advice to writing well: join a writing group, and there are plenty online to do it. There I learned a lot, and I learned when it was no longer useful. (it is hard to critique chapter five without reading chapters one through four - grammar aside) As you may know, I'm all about world-building and being immersed in a solid story - even if it spans many books.

Half way there!

Alpenglow in Huork, Nordhiem (or a facsimile of...)  My goal prior to 2012 was a modest one, and that was to reach my goal of 50k words. That is -- half a book, and half to go. I can safely say, as of this writing, "Prince of the Furies", is at 50,200 words and climbing. Nowhere to go but up from here. Things are getting thick for my crew and trouble is brewing on the horizon. Nothing like a horrible creature to make a troubled year complete. I will keep everyone posted on the progress.
