And another one down

[anghara]

Wrote and fixed another chapter:

59,876 / 95,000 (63.0%)

I'm now in respectable territory.

I am very much hoping to have another chapter under my belt by the end of the week - but this week's bitsy, as it were, what with a dentist appointment today, a car service appointment tomorrow, a doctor's appointment for rdeck the day after that, and the galleys for Book #1 of the trlogy having been announced as imminent and (as usual) with a request for a quick turnover - which means that they will therefore hog my attention when they do get here to the exclusion of everything else before I'm done with them. The good news on that front, of course, is that at this stage I AM done with them, and the rest of the book's journey to its grand unveiling is not in my hands at all...

I'll show y'all the cover, here. SOON. I promise. [grin] SOme of you who were at Wiscon have already seen the prototype laminated version - but it will be online Very Shortly...

Yay on the word count and double for a new cover!

Question for you....do you edit as you write? You mentioned writing and fixing your chapter. I'm fascinated by writerly processes...and I'm a wee bit nosy! :)

I may do a whole 'nuther post on that sometime soon [grin] watch this space...

Oh we're in similar places I'm at around 56k out of 80k though
it looks like the first draft will be less.This is around the
point where I start rushing to finish.

Is the cover what you had in mind?

[anghara.livejournal.com]

Yup, I'm starting to feel the wind of that rush myself, I am.

And the cover is NEVER what you expect, is it? [grin] I"m just lucky I liked mine so far...
