THAT’S A WHOPPING 57,589 words written in July for this story (and 61,790 overall in July).
DO I ROCK, OR WHAT?
This story is TOTALLY gonna get written this month.
The goal is to write the whole story in July AND have it be:
(A) a quality story, not just 65k of words (so far so good there, as per my critique partner), and
(B) have it be a real page turner
And as of yesterday, I have completed the MAIN story!
In this book, there are two stories that parallel each other, so one just got finished.
Uh oh! If ONE is done and there are TWO, does that mean you’re only halfway???
NO. The story I wrote is the much bigger one; the other one is started and intersplices between the big one. So I’d say I’m about 75% or 80% finished.
But… almost 90% of the month is gone!
Yep. I’m a little behind. It’ll be close.
THIS AMAZING MURDER MYSTERY WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE ANTHOLOGY CALLED MURDER AND MAYHEM.
