2081 words
Decent count on the suspense/romance. Mostly suspense at this point. And I like what I got. Time to go rest for a while. It’s been a long day. Download as PDFPrint Page

Headache
Had to happen sooner or later. Stress, e-mails lacking in anything resembling good news, and some serious worry. Still got about a thousand words, but that’s half what I wanted. Still, I’ll stick to the plan. Do some revision this afternoon. Maybe write some more tonight. Download as PDFPrint Page

Mornings for new stuff; afternoons for revision
Aiming for two thousand words on the romance in the morning, and reworking Wreck of Heaven in the afternoon. Revisions on WOH are going to be pretty extensive — I’ll be adding in an entire subplot, with all that entails — new scenes, continuity work on existing scenes. I’ll be reworking the ending to make…

21,111 words done
Research going well. Writing going well. And the revision requests for Wreck of Heaven arrived. Substantial, but I have a bit of turn-around time on them.

Took most of a day off
I may write later tonight, but I discovered that I needed a break. I was starting to get burned out — don’t want to do that. Download as PDFPrint Page

This explains a lot
The time to put together a big project and ask for a raise is not usually the same month that your publisher’s owner posts a fifty-billion dollar loss … AOL Time-Warner (of which my publisher Warner Books is one part) just posted that loss. It’s a bit tough to take their caution personally in the…

Got 2700 words, but I’m at a stopping point
And I’m not sure what happens next. At this point I’d be thrashing if I went farther. So I’m going to wrap for the night and do some more research. I’ll sleep on the dilemma I’ve set for my characters — see if dreams will toss me any bones. They do sometimes. Download as PDFPrint…
