As of today, Gunwitch2 has accumulated 50,000 words. Which is about half done, I figure, depending on the lengths of the remaining chapters. It's possible this book will be between 110K and 120K words (about 10%-20% longer than the first book), but … well … estimates of final lengths while in the middle have seldom proven accurate for me. What seems to happen is that the chapters in the first half of the book trend long while the later chapters trend shorter. So I'm still assuming the book will finish at about 100K words. We won't know for sure until we get there.
Also, as of last night, I've edited about a third of GoSH1 (chapters 1-6). This is my almost-final edit, the edit that happens before the nitpicky line editing. Work on the cover has also begun. So that book is getting ever closer to being published.
And I'm making good progress on my next big update of The Journal too.
So I'm excited.
