The work rolls on...
Oct. 17th, 2010 08:38 pmWell, I haven't spent the entire weekend looking for snakes under fridges. I've also done some work on Night and Chaos and added a few thousand more words to it. I decided after much consideration not to worry about character names at this stage; I'm going to get the first draft done and then hope a few helpful beta readers will help me solve the Ryan-as-a-girl's-name issue (although
yolandasfetsos did kindly point me towards a sight that proves Ryan is a girl's name, so there).
Anyway, here's the word count thus far:
12154 / 30000 words. 41% done!
I'm doing a ton of research on this whole Kindle publishing deal. It's pretty overwhelming, but I'm determined to at least experiment. When I started Night and Chaos a couple of years ago, I always envisioned it as a series of novellas, and I figure I have nothing to lose by self-publishing them, and potentially a lot to gain. So this is my focus for the rest of October. Ideally I'd like a first draft done before Anti-Nano starts and I get consumed by Halflife. It's not impossible, right?
