novel progress report

[mckitterick]

Spent all weekend (except for a break to help Adam move and to see the first two episodes of Alias: Season 3... which had accidentally fallen into my hand and gotten itself purchased) working on Empire Ship. Progress:

. Word count up to 99,840
. Page count up to 329
. Revised to page 230 -- almost time to start writing new scenes!

Wow, after posting and seeing my previous post next to this one, I just realized I wrote 3500 new words this weekend. Go me! No, nine pages are not equal to that many words; must have added more text to pages with manual page breaks.

Danke! Feels like it's most of a book already, but of course the damned thing refuses to finish itself.

Oh, yeah! Though I'm still having crises of faith every few hours: "Is this worth my time? Is this any good?" yada yada.
