Mailed. Now for the waiting.

Yup. Printed and mailed it yesterday.

And now we wait. And wait. And wait.

Talk about under the wire!

Done.
18,861 total words, about 2/3 as long as "Bred in the Bone", but seeing as how I slacked all day Saturday just thinking up the story rather than labouring behind a keyboard, that's not too surprising.

Still, the pressure of a shorter deadline brought economy to the story. I'm pretty happy with it, overall.

The title is "An Oath as Stong as Bone"

Phew!

Bed time, Day 2.

Well, Saturday was a bust, but here at the end of Day two, I have 10,219 words written.

I'm happy with that.

Tomorrow's gonna be nuts, but that's ok.

G'night all.

Way, way behind...

Well, I'm way off the pace from last year.

I've only written about 6,000 words and it's almost 10 PM on Sunday.

Charlotte was right about not being able to write while doing retail.

I also couldn't get into writing when I go home last night.

So, here I am, way behind. Still, if I can get to 10-12000 words tonight before bed, I should be able to turn in a 24,000 word novel by tomorrow night. I'm on a bit of a roll right now, so here's hoping that continues.

Thanks for the kind words and support folks!

Time for bed.

Last year, I wrote 2319 words from midnight to bedtime.

This year, 2306. First chapter (well, the prologue really) done.

And it's a sequel to last year's "Bred in the Bone", in case you were wondering.

G'night folks!
