December's writing progress

Just a note on where I currently am with my writing...

I started work on the fourth and final book of The Barefoot Healer series on 25 October, and now have about 40,000 words of the first draft. Judging from my previous books, that's about a third of the way in, so I'm pleased with the rate of progress so far. No promises yet as to when it'll be on sale, but I'm reasonably confident it will be some time next year. I haven't officially decided on a title yet, but it will probably be called Stone & Silence unless I think of something I like better.

The Accidental Dragonrider has proven unexpectedly popular (popular by my standards, anyway), so it's looking more likely than not that I'll write a sequel to it. I might start that after I've finished the first draft of Stone & Silence or whatever it ends up being called. (Many writers recommend that you put a book aside for a while between finishing the first draft and starting to edit, so that when you pick it up again, you can read what you actually wrote, not what you think you wrote.)

And once those two are out of the way, it'll be time to start the sequel to The Mirrors of Elangir...
