Just hit the 73,000 words again, which I am happy with, as I chopped out 4,000 to set aside for a sequel if needed. It was basically too much material being burnt through just to tell the story.
One of the odd things I noticed very early one, is that the story is growing more complicated and organic as the weeks go by, so much so that I am looking at perhaps telling the same story but from several different viewpoints. Incorporating these into my book is proving to be entertaining and challenging.
Still on target to finish the first draft by November 2006, but what I'd really like is a "live" counter on my blog to keep me working harder to finish it on time.
Okay Im scheduled for 33 chapters
3 completed to first draft
9 work in progress
21 yet to start
these numbers may change
