It's the king of nothing and the queen of rage

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: 5054 (meh)
Present total word count: 27,549



Things accomplished in fiction: Awkward supper; signs and portents; met one of the villains; got smoke blown up our skirt. So to speak.

Next up: In the basement there's a storage area. An angry man is waiting there.

Things accomplished in real life: Neighborhood jaunts with dog; laundry by the pound; grocery shopping; housework; went to the bank; went to Target; went to Walgreens.

Other: Not a huge word count for four days - but I had to cut about a thousand words loose after I realized they were total crap. I got bogged down in a weird little chapter, and didn't figure out what was wrong in time to write something better. Ah, well. It's fixed now, but it means that my total isn't quite as fat as I'd prefer.

Other, besides: Haters gonna hate.

Number of fiction words so far this year: 60,960
