I have a little more than 100 wordperfect pages of my fantasy genre novel finished. Like most of you, I have suffered the same problems – great ideas, brilliant beginnings…and then fizzle. And, like all of you, I was fortunate enough to find Holly Lisle. Using her plotting and world / character building techniques I’ve gotten this far without losing it all, and still have a grip on where we’re going. Most of the website is thankfully easy to navigate, though I admit, I don’t know where this post is going – hopefully to the WABWM thread. When I’ve confirmed that, I’ll start posting word counts and little bits of information about both the book and myself. I usually average between 700 – 1000 words, painfully extracted one at a time. I hope to finish in March / April 2010 timeframe, have it revised and out making the rounds by August. Anyway, good to be part of the team – hope you all have a great day.</i> +1 First post for me.

It's highly customizable, easy to use and free (you don't even need to create a user account on the site). Here it is, I hope it's helpful :-) http://www.critiquecircle.com/wordmeterbuilder.asp Hi,

However, I haven't heard any news of the book for over a year now. Have you given up on it, or is it still being worked on? I'm still really looking forward to it. Thanks, Ryan Hello,

I have a tendency to wander around like Moses in the desert, with no destination and no end in sight or mind. I too have been following your wonderful words of encouragement and assistance since knowledge hound, but apparently my head is too thick to allow the knowledge to penetrate. I refuse to give up on my dream but writing in circles is getting me nowhere. Dear Holly,

I'm trying for a thousand a day. I've given out your website to some of my students who are writing novels. We like to discuss different techniques. Thanks for all the hard work.

I immediately searched out your site to discover your plans for book III. I can't seem to find anything! I mean, I did notice that Silver Door was only very recently published, so I understand if you're still in the process of catching your breath. Just curious if there was any work or thought going into #3 as of yet. So I just picked up The Silver Door yesterday morning, and I finished it a few minutes ago.

I'm using your 'write the candy bar scenes first' technique, Holly, and it's FUN! With the words today I'm close to a third finished. Wrote a little over 400 words today on short story in progress.
