Return

Had a lovely time in Australia, and now I'm back. So, this afternoon, I’m about to return to working on my (graphic-ish?) novel in earnest. 

Right now. And I'm getting both nervous and excited. 

2+ hours a day (minimum of one). 6+ days a week. 

Here goes... 

Current word count: 26,424. 

Current state: 

• solid short synopsis
• clear overarching plot in mind
• a sketch for one illustration
• solid beginning (with small gaps) and established voice
• vastly messy middle with large gaps, unclear plot points, too few characters, and various black holes 
• nebulous but forming ending. 

Goal: A finished solid first draft by January 9th, 2013.
