February's Writing Progress

I wrote about 5,000 words of The Last Dragonrider this month, but the total is only about 1,500 higher than it was last month. I'd been cheating, by counting some scenes that I'd already planned to delete in the the edit. I decided to take the hit for those scenes now, so my total now stands at 73,500 words.

I also wrote a little story from a prompt at Blackpool Writers' Circle. This year is the 130th anniversary of Blackpool Tower, so the prompt was to write something about its opening in 1894. I wandered away from that, as I often do, and, well, ended up sending Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson to investigate a bizarre accident in its basement.
