There’s a lot going on that I’ve not blogged on, mostly because I’m working on things. If you see the "progress" bar over there, you see that I’ve surpassed by initial estimated word count. That estimate was based on 14 chapters in my original outline, at 3000 words a chapter. Well, chapters have multiplied, and I have two more to go – really down to the wire here. I’ve no doubt in the major revision that will immediately follow the completion of this attempt (hopefully early next week) will strip the text down. But I’m at a point in this in which I am very interested in finishing it and revising it, not just from the standpoint of "git ‘er done," (I wrote 3000 words over the past 24 hours) but also from a craft standpoint. This is turning out to be really intriguing, and I’m actually psyched to go back, start over, in a way,  and incorporate more of what I’ve learned about my characters and the major dynamics of the story, and see how it all pans out…and not quite as interested i blogging. Apologies!
