Starting Word Count: 7177<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yep. That number is still the same from yesterday. You can’t see it, but I’m smiling about that.<\/p>\n

Allow me to explain.<\/p>\n

Along with the often stalled, often reworked Book 2 of the Arcana Chronicles, <\/em>I’ve been doing a lot of other writing work. \u00a0<\/em>I have published a couple short stories recently (in R. l. Weeks’\u00a0Once Upon a Cursed Time<\/em><\/a> and J. L. Clayton’s\u00a0The Unforgiven<\/em><\/a>). I have two more that are set to be published–Christmas Nightmares<\/em><\/a> and the Wicked Ink Books follow-up to\u00a0Tick Tock<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em>This last anthology will come out in 2017 and my story for that one was reviewed by a few\u00a0professional editors. It was both shocking and wonderful to receive such excellent feedback. \u00a0I wanted to get those edits done by the weekend and worked until last night to get them out.<\/p>\n

The story is much tighter. I can’t thank Kristi, Rebecca and Corinne enough for their commentary! More on this when the PR folks at WIB allow.<\/p>\n

I also spent time working through author Emmett Spain’s comments on our steampunk\/fantasy project. \u00a0We had a Skype chat last night that was just amazing for it’s creativity–the call left us both scrambling for our respective whiteboards\/chalkboards. The bottom line is that we have a good structure now, a killer direction and the most amazing first scene.<\/p>\n

So, all right. \u00a0No words were put to the novel yesterday. But it was an amazing writer day none-the-less.<\/p>\n

To atone for my lack of #NaNoWriMo<\/strong> progress, I will be attempting to double-down this weekend and clear Sunday with 14k words toward the novel. Wish me luck!<\/p>\n

Peace<\/p>\n
