In the shadow of summers now past
Here's recent progress on my poltergeist-plagued hotel horror story, wherein everyone’s favorite steampunk Texas Ranger joins forces with a goth-as-hell gunslinger-turned-padre who may (or may not) have supernatural powers:
Project: Jacaranda
Deadline: March 31, 2014
New words written: 2185
Present total word count: 16,203
Things accomplished in fiction: Another ghastly death, a bit of new information.
Next up: Getting rid of the body. Come to think of it, this poor padre spends a lot of time getting rid of bodies. Bless his heart.
Things accomplished in real life: Daily jaunt around the neighborhood with the dog; a rather meaty interview with Paul Goat Allen over at B&N (I'll post a link when it's live); foraged for lunch; got down to inbox zero (barely); adjusted this weekend's travel plans; argued with Delta airlines; called up the hotel in Dearborn to beg for an early check-in.
Other: If I can average 2000 words a day, I can nail down a Draft Zero by the end of the month. Not saying that's going to happen, but it is (at least) within the realm of hypothetical possibility - even with the travel break. Anyway, I'm off to a promising start!
Number of fiction words so far this year: 8623
