Writing Update

It's been a couple months since my last check-in, so how are things progressing with Angels & Androids, the final installment in my Dome City Investigations trilogy? I'm so glad you asked. The going has been incredibly slow, but I've made it to the 65K mark. A minor victory. I've got about 25K left to draft, but I'm fairly certain where I'm headed at this point, so it should be a breakneck sprint to the finish. Plenty will need to be cleaned up later, but that's okay; this is just the sloppy copy.

Speaking of sloppy, I started writing it longhand a few chapters ago. We lost power for a couple days during a recent storm, and my laptop needed a charge, so I dug out an old spiral notebook and pen and got to work. Doubtful anybody else would be able to read my scrawling penmanship (at times, I struggle with it myself), but I've noticed that it's helped me to get my ideas down without stopping to edit as I go. And it's nice to take a break from the ol' computer screen now and then.

If I can manage between 500 and 1,000 words a day, I should be able to complete this draft by the end of the school year. That's my goal, and I'm sticking to it.
