A strange hunger haunted me
Princess X revisions: Officially underway. Some bits will go faster than others, but I'm pretty happy with the heavy lifting accomplished on the first couple of chapters - and tomorrow, I start breaking things open, then putting in placeholders for new scenes.
I'd say something like, "So far, so good," but I don't want to jinx myself. Knowing how I intend to fix a problem is not the same thing as easily doing so.
Anyway. Here's today's 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: 1337 (heh)
Present total word count: 49,780

Things accomplished in fiction: Wrapped up the most recent axe murder, in a sufficiently messy fashion.
Next up: All caught up, and back into the fray. I haven't decided which POV to pick up next, though. Still juggling a couple of options. Hm...
Things accomplished in real life: Neighborhood jaunt with dog; precious little else. Been feeling a bit "off" today - but at least I got some writing done, in addition to the Princess X revisions.
Number of fiction words so far this year: 83,173

Hello everyone! It's awards season and this is my job, so please click through and take a peek if you are so inclined. Don't worry - it's short! I only published a couple of things this year, and I included BONUS pet pictures to pay the promo tax. With that having been said...
