CRUISIN'

I will be taking my first cruise over the next week and while I will be spending some time writing, I will also be attending the events of the Browncoat Cruise and likely a shore excursion or two.

Currently slightly over 60k on ACDT and will be getting it to the beta readers by the end of December.

Really.

DELAYED

Life happens.

Which is an insightful way of letting people know I am being distracted from my novel by forces beyond my control. Once my life has re-settled into its new form, I will be back up to a respectable daily four digit word count, and the first draft of ACDT is estimated to be due to beta readers by end of December.

For those morbidly curious, here are my daily word counts, complete with notes:

10/20 - 28,587

ACDT - 1/2 WAY THERE

For all of the blog posts that are not here, words have been added to my novel.

Today, I have over 45,000 words, on target with the outline, in chapters. With a goal of 90k, this is officially the half way mark.

Break out the sparkling grape cider, a celebration is in order.
