Due to some — oh, shall we say — “technical difficulties,” I haven’t had any internet since early this morning, and I’m desperately trying to play catch-up on emails and work projects that were set aside until I could get back online. However, I did get a fair bit of work done today on the on the novel about a decommissioned Greek fury, her quasi-immortal Chinese ex-lover, and an Iranian astrologer with a drinking problem:
Project: The Engines of Wrath
New Words: 3947 (pretty good)
Present Total Word Count: 7442 words
Goal: 100,000 words
Observations: First major segment/chapter wrapped up, second one underway. I’m switching POVs for this second one (there will be three total) and it’s a bit of a shift to get myself in someone else’s head, but that’s fine. The book begins with the quasi-immortal Chinese man, and chapter two is told from the perspective of the Iranian astrologer with a drinking problem. Three will be the decommissioned Greek fury.
Things Accomplished in Real Life: Didn’t kill anyone, but the day ain’t over yet.
Reason for Stopping: Finally got the internet back, around 6:30 p.m. Was starving for it.
Total Fiction Words Composed in 2008: 239,618
