Writer's Update: #amwriting

Happy Thanksgiving to all my US readers!

Here's a turkey for your Thanksgiving dinner.

I've now been drafting like crazy for two weeks, and have broken 30,000 words--more than 1/3 of the way through the book. I have a corpse, a bunch of suspects, and a lot of notes about the things I've forgotten to include or to follow up on.

With the holiday this week it'll be hard to keep up my writing goals, as I'll be prioritizing time with the visiting kids, but if I manage to stay more or less on track I'll be close to halfway by the end of the week. The biggest holdup is that I haven't outlined much beyond where I am now, so there may be delays while I figure out how to get where I need to go. Or I may just keep writing, knowing where I need to end up, and hope for the best. The end result seems to be similar either way: a big mess that takes a lot of rewriting to make come out right.

In the meantime, I'll have eaten my fill of turkey and pie, and that's worth a lot.

In other excitement, I FINALLY got my copies of Washed Up With the Tide, and it is lovely!

 
I'm not sure what Amazon was playing at, taking so long to deliver these, but I'm happy to have them at last.

I'll do my best to be back this weekend with more photos, but no promises--I haven't started editing that lot yet, and it takes time, which will be at a premium this week. If I can't manage that, I'll share another flashback flash fiction to distract you over the weekend!
