Not titled because I'm tired

So, I really do not have much to write here about. I have been working on the book, I gave myself a deadline to finish the book (July 31) and have started using a new program to write my novel.

Tonight I finished typing out chapter 8 which turned out to be 1000 more words then I originally planned for. That helps a lot on the word count but I am going to have to plan the rest of the book carefully so that I get what I want in the book and not end up writing a juggernaut of a novel.

July first is the due date for the book, The next day I will be leaving for Oakland for the world footbag tournament and will be rather busy for that week so I need to get this finished by then. The new program I’m using, called Ywriter, even tells me how many words I have to write a day in order to finish by that date!

Wish me luck!

Late but what else is new?

I have not written much in this blog this month and hopefully that will be changed!

I have almost reached the half waypoint in the novel, word count wise, and I have a lot of story left to tell. The book has come a long way in the last month with several characters being introduced and several more to come rather quickly. I am having two people read over the typed chapters I finished (1-7) and have received positive feedback, a lot to fix and polish but still positive.

I also have been working on a few side projects and listening to many audio books lately. Finished possibly the worst story ever flowed by a close runner up…
