Using the bad entry from last week to submit for today.

Not a good weekend for writing, as most of it was a bad day doing my weekday job.

I also HAVE to get Book One edits run through, as well as get Book Two finished and to the editor. Book two is closer to being written than the other is to having edits done. :(

An excellent day. We are moving forward!

(*Now I need to get the same progress on editing the first book.*)

With the (US) Columbus Day off, I was able to write, and I was very happily productive. The book is on the last main arc, so from here on out, there is only one more surprise (of which I do not yet even know what it is), and the rest of the story will contain a lot of character arcs moving toward their conclusion. I found from my first book that this part goes much faster.

(On the other hand, I also need to work on the edits I received on the first book. That is a LOT tougher than I expected!)

Be well, Successful Authors! I am racing with all I have to join you someday soon!

More work on a poetic song. (Plot relevant, it is important story point.) It is mostly done, but I left the last two verses undone.

Need to get the word count back up. Tomorrow at least I do not have other stuff to bollix up the day. (Today and yesterday was full of non-writing distractions.

Much work on a poetic song. (Plot relevant, it is important story point) That was not conductive to high word counts. Also had most of the day doing day job (I usually now just work m-f about 69 hours from leaving to returning home. This does not happen most weeks.)

Aftermath of a terrible battle...

I am always emotional when characters perish. Two did in this chapter. The first lived life badly but kept to her ideals to the end, even when that meant trying to kill the protagonist. The second (and much lesser character) died well as the climax of a redemption arc.

“I love the differences you've got in those two characters and their demise :O)” – Anne Lown

One more quick sprint before bed. I must learn to have fewer than 15 supporting named characters... but the story is good.

“Those crazy named characters. The fewer the better, otherwise you have to keep an index readily available.” – Craig

The story is great. On the other hand, I am behind where I wanted to be in writing it.
