This is what happens when you release a book while sick... you forget to post everywhere. Doh! So, um. Anyway... I have a new novel! It's called "Girls Don't Hit," and it features one of my least sympathetic characters ever, but people still love her. Not without reservations, and they all want to keep a wide berth, but there's something about her ( Read more... )

91,741 words, 26 days, and first draft is done! Brace yourselves for the ending, people!

Surging forth! At this rate it'll hit 90k for the novel, plus another 5k for the "Tallahassee" preview I wrote. So definitely novel-length by any measuring stick. ;D

One thing I worry about as I near the end of the story is that it may be... sudden. It's a very sudden ending, but hopefully it will feel like an organic thing more than just "And that's the last scene." We'll see if it needs work once I get to it, but for now... the continuation! :D

We're in Act III, I'll just say that much. Again, if there's another chapter today, it'll be added to this post when it's finished. Or! You can always ( Read more... )

A one-chapter day today! I kept getting distracted by errands and research and whatnot (you'll see what research I needed when you read the chapter). I also had to get Riley Season 5 sorted and pimped everywhere (have you bought yours yet? NO?! What weirdos...) Enjoy!
