Anything Worth Doing...

So...yeah.  Haven't posted in a while.  Oops.

In my defense, everything has been crazy.  I've been keeping up with my 500 words, though I'm no longer anywhere near the 1,500 or so average I was achieving before.  It seems this new job was a huge mistake in terms of my writing.  Well...not just in terms of my writing, but that's a topic for another time.

Anyway, in spite of the world, I'm still plugging away with my story!  I'm fairly happy with what I've written over the past week or so: an encounter with Jules, then another with Pilot and Bard...and I'm about to reveal a secret from Pilot's past that's really going to mess with Mer...but will go a long way towards explaining why Pilot is the way she is.  Plus it encourages her to storm out of Dissenter HQ, which means that she gets to her plane before they lock it down.  I'm sure none of this makes any sense to you, but it's all exciting for me!

Most exciting is where I am in the story.  I've got a bit of slog-writting coming up, but after that it'll be one exciting, terrifying thing after another until the conclusion.  I'd love to be done by the end of November (for NaNoWriMo!) but I don't think that'll happen.  If not November, I'd love to be done by the new year...though that might also be overly optimistic. 

Mostly I'd really just love to break 100k by my birthday...which is in 2 days.  Don't really see it happening...but maybe I'll get loads done tomorrow?  Or I could push it off to this weekend--give myself the rest of the week to get it done.  It's my birthday present to myself, after all!

Anyway, I'd love to blather on, but I'm STARVING.  I have a pizza crust in the fridge that's calling my name, just waiting to be baked into delicious gooeyness.  Nom nom nom!

P.S. I've designed the cover of the book.  It's beautiful  :}
