Nearly Done

So I’ve made a slight adjustment in how I allocate my writing time. I had been dividing my attention equally between all six current WIP’s. But I’m nearly done with Turning, and so lately I’ve been pouring all my writing energies into wrapping this book up and getting it out to you all. Of course, most of the book is already available here on the website, and I’ll probably have it up for an indeterminate period after it’s finished, but at some point I’ll take it down so that I can start selling it.

The net result is that during the past week I’ve added almost 6K words, and the book has now crossed 80K words total. More to the point, I’m only three chapters and an epilogue away from being done. I hope to have a new chapter uploaded within the next day or so, and the book may well be finished by the end of the month at the latest.

This is my current word count as it stands today:

So there you have it. All told I’ve written over 46K words since the year began, and considering that I took all of January and half of February off, this averages out to about 21K or so per month (half of February, all of March, and only half of April). I’m hoping to keep upping the word count each month. I’ve increased my output by around 100 words a day from about 700 wpd in March to more than 800 wpd so far this month. God willing, soon I’ll be consistently breaking in excess of 1,500. That would net approximately six to seven titles per year, depending on length. At that pace, it would only take me about ten years to tell all the stories currently wandering around my head (with no accounting for any more I come up with between now and then).

And with that said, I’m getting back to work. SEE Yuh!
