It’s going to be a race–I have to have the revised RUBY KEY edits done by July 24th, and I estimate that I’ll need to add about 30,000-40,000 new words to the project to tell the story the way my editor and I have decided it needs to be told, while updating and reworking the existing 60,000 words.
That’s 14 days, including no days off. Between 2142 and 2857 new words a day, plus about 20 pages of existing material.
At this point, it’s doable, if very difficult. I dare not fall down, or it will become impossible. If I can do it, there’s good stuff at the other end, though–good enough to make it worth my while to give up most of my sleep and all of my free time for two weeks.
I’ll do updates as I can.
