Back In Action

I've been itching to work on Book 3 lately and now I'm on the cusp of getting what I started 1.5 years ago (geez...that's awful) back on track. I'm going back to my 2 pages a day plan. If I can sit down and hammer out 2 pages (not perfect pages, mind you) I think I can get this sucker up and finished before summer starts.

I used a thing called the Zokutou Word Meter to keep me honest. Since I've already got around 11,000 some words done and I estimate the 1st draft will clock in around 100,000 words (that's a HIGH estimate) it shows a little bar of my progress. Find it on the left a little further down.

Anyway. It's on, yo. I've got to dip my head back into my characters world. 2 pages will be written before I even realize they're done. My goal is to have the rough draft done so that I can spend downtime during my July vacation editing the thing. I did it with Book 2 and I got TONS of work done. Plus, I felt cool editing the beast while sitting near the lake.

Wish me luck.
