Despite near constant interruption, today’s writing progress was actually pretty good. This one’s a quick write. I hope it doesn’t suck.* So. Yeah. Here ya go. Stats for the trashy adventure about a neurotic vampire/thief and her wealthy blind client, now with Bonus! half-Cuban drag queen and military intrigue:

Project: Bloodshot
New Year’s Resolution Status: Excellent, considering.
New Words Written Today: 3075
Present Total Word Count: 5706 words
Goal: 30,000 words and a proposal.





Things accomplished: Established the introductory meat of the mystery. Met the blind vamp’s aging hipster ghoul.
Darling du Jour: “Ian Stott pressed his lips together and squeezed out a thin smile.”
Stumbling blocks: Phone ringing off the hook. Errand running. Project juggling.
Other: I also finished bringing the sample material for my steampunk project up to First Draft Status. Now to work on the summary/outline/proposal. Likewise, I began work on revising “The Catastrophe Box,” but didn’t get as far as I meant to. Oh well. It’ll wait until tomorrow.
