ROW80: The First Weigh-In

Well the first weigh-in of the round is upon us and I have to say I am smiling from ear to ear.

The paperback proof of Highway To Hell is on the way and if all is good could still make it for Halloween. I haven't added it as a goal as the artwork was the only issue and all I needed to do was upload it and order the proof.

On the writing front I have been on fire and find myself ahead of schedule by quite some way.

I set myself the usual target of 750 words a day. So far I have hit:

Monday: 1800

Tuesday: 810 (I was on track for 1000 + but my parents called to talk about their holiday and I lost 45 minutes. Still a good total)

Wednesday (Today): 706 (as of this very moment) so I should hit at least 800-900 for the day which I am more than happy with. As a post posting comment, I hit the 1000 words for the day.

If I can keep this sort of tempo going then I am in good position to finish this second novel before the end of the year. That would be idea, as I can then spend the last few weeks of the year resting and reading, ready to start editing in the new year.

I have received my first three review of Highway to Hell now, and all have been positive, by why believe me, I am bound to be bias right? Feel free to read the reviews for yourself and make up your own mind

Anything Horror - A horror site run by Scott Shoyer one of the biggest horror enthusiasts that I have met.

The third review was left on my Amazon page.

I feel that for a first time novel these reviews are nothing but positive and have given me the comfort in my own ability that I sometimes lack. Now, if you excuse me it is time to dive right back into Hell and see if I can bring all of my characters through this damned cave without them being skinned or eaten.
