49237 / 100000 words. 49% done!

Isn't it handsome? I've been quite productive lately, it feels like--even though the count doesn't show it as much as I feel it, as some of the scenes written since the last update (one in particular) were ridiculously long (and will no doubt have to be later chopped down) and grueling. I tell you, sometimes it's ( Read more... )

Congrats on the progress! You're seriously going through that novel so quickly!

Kushiel's Dart gets better. The action literally takes 300 pages to even start, and then another 200 after that to really get going. I've read five of JC's Kushiel books, and I want to read the sixth (Kushiel's Mercy) just to complete the series, but the thought of reading another of her 800 page epics kinda makes my eyes shrivel up. I actually read her duo called The Sundering (Banewreaker, and Godslayer) and I liked them SO MUCH BETTER. For one thing, they were normal length, and I liked the characters a lot better, too.

Lol, the only German I can say is nein. If that's even how you spell it :-P Can't you take it in school?

Well, that's somewhat reassuring about KD. I thought if it were to drag like that forever, I'd have to give it up SOON.

As for the German, I could take it in school, but since it'd cause an overlap in my schedule, I have to teach myself a course in the summer so I can take the next level up during the school year, which is a different period.
