The work rolls on...

Well, 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?

Yay for Ryan! ;) Looks like you're doing really well with the progress, and it's really cool that you'll be making these novellas available via Kindle. I wouldn't even know where to start in getting them on there...

Have a great day!

Lol, I'm not sure I know what I know what I'm doing - the Amazon faq is less than helpful - but it's all part of my grand plan so I'm forging ahead...

Clearly that was me failing at logging in!

Nope. In fact, it's totally possible. :)
