We're changing our ways, taking different roads

Here's recent progress on my witchy art-deco horror novel about Lizzie Borden thirty years after her parents' deaths - now featuring ghosts and non-ghosts alike, anti-Catholic conspiracy nuts, supernatural political shenanigans, the mafia, and a Bonus! space-worshiping murder cult hiding behind the KKK:
Project: Chapelwood
Deadline: October 1, 2014
New words written: 7221 (weekend + today)
Present total word count: 17,279



Things accomplished in fiction: Chatted with the out-going police chief; picked up a bunch of articles and newspapers, and thereby learned much about the weird church at Chapelwood; met the daughter of a murderer - a girl who barely escaped him, herself.

Next up: Finish off a letter to the priest (sent before he died); send word to Lizzie in New England, and see if she's free to come out and lend Wolf a hand.

Things accomplished in real life: Neighborhood jaunts with dog; grocery store; laundry; cleaned house; went to lunch with husband for the first time in ages; did lunch with new tax guy; chased down some paperwork here and there; processed many emails.

Other: Want to watch me be chatty and goofy with the inimitable Jim Hall of Cult-Pop? YOU KNOW YOU DO. In that-there interview, we chat about the Clockwork Century and a few new things, too - so go watch it and see!

Self-satisfied other: Managed to keep the streak running, even over the weekend. GO ME.

Number of fiction words so far this year: 50,690
