And lo, despite much -- including an utter revamping of the mid-section AND the ending -- going wrong, the Structural Draft of Vineart War #3 is DONE.

[okay, I haven't written the final half-chapter yet. It's outlined to a fare-the-well, waiting for next iteration]

On Monday, the break-and-repair 2nd draft will commence. For now: I fall over*.

[And hey, I'm only a month off projected schedule. *faceplants*]

For those who like stats, I expect the book to end up at 120,000 words. Which is, coinkydentally, exactly the same as books 1 and 2.





*actually, for now I am going to work on the two proposals that are chewing at me, in the hopes that someone will actually someday want another book from me. Should I attack the recent-alt-history-weirdness one, or the dark UF?

Alt-history..

I think UF is a little saturated at the moment.

Apparently I chased them off. I guess my thinking was that you have a respectable track record under your belt in both UF and Epic Fantasy, now might be the time to use that to push into a different genre.

Nah, you didn't scare me. I'm just slow.

It may be saturated BUT I feel the need for LAG flair in dark UF. Just saying.
