CHAPTER ONE ES FINITO
A little more than an hour's work tonight, and Chapter One is now in the bag. I think -- and this may be wrong, because I'm not the most impartial person in the world -- this scene is some of my best writing yet. The pacing is solid, you don't see what's coming directly (literally!), and it's pretty entertaining. Exactly what a book should be, in my opinion. The whole shebang, Prologue and Chapter One, is about 6,700 words. The goal, length-wise, that I set for myself is 75,000 words -- about 330 pages.
I'll go over it all in the next few days, then send it out to some Bringers of Death (note -- see last entry). While they look it over, I'll be starting Chapter Two. And so on, hopefully, throughout the course of the book.

Um, yeah, you need to make a mailing list for this site because I totally forgot it exists until you mentioned it again on your site. Call me an uninformed Bringer of Dead (or “Bob the BoD”), but I’d just like to know. Roger Z. would probably like to know as well.

I’ll work on finding a way to make a mailing list, but WordPress doesn’t have one built in. Till I do, I might just post “Updated July 3, 2006? on JBdN beneath the link for “Novelogue.”
What’s ol’ Corknut’s email address again?
