Not through love but through revenge

Here's recent progress on my young adult haunted house story about a long-lost adventure pulp comic manuscript that's guarded by a good ghost and a bad ghost; now with Bonus! gentrifying drama, golden-age mystery, Hollywood intrigue, fallout from The Storm, and an agent who's just trying to do the right thing, goddammit:

Project: Drawing Fire
Deadline: November, 2015
New words written: 2445 (multi-day total)
Present total word count: 24,287



Things Accomplished in Fiction: Finished up the very first comic section, wee! Also wrote a pretend Wikipedia entry and performed some basic LogicSpackle(TM).

Things Accomplished in Real Life: [In general, since last post] Neighborhood jaunts with the dog; went shopping with a friend and picked up awesome polka-dotted jammies; did more online pre-DragonCon shopping than I'm prepared to confess to; went out to supper with husband and a couple of old friends at a cool new spot in town; went to Walgreens; went to the bank; took primary vehicle in to get serviced (twice, long story); made appointment at vet for YowlyCat, who is having some YowlyProblems and also maybe some kidney issues; did not hate the end of True Detective as much as everybody else seems to have, but I didn't love it, either.

Publishing Other: Well, you saw the last post about Drawing Fire, so I won't rehash it here - except to note that yes, my first real draft of this thing is due in November...which is kind of tight, yes, considering I have two other books to hand in by spring of next year. But there are Official Reasons, and hey, I agreed to it, so...don't cry for me, Argentina.

Number of fiction words so far this year: 80,290
