more level grinding

Posted on | 2 years, 8 months ago, mid-morning | No Comments

I’ve been trying to cut myself a break on weekends and only do 2K total, instead of my stated goal of 2K a day. Sometimes this works out better than others.

Here’s the progress on the alternate-history battlefield adventure about a widowed nurse from a Confederate hospital aboard a west-bound train pulled by a Union war engine — now with military intrigue, steampunk Texas rangers, undead political separatists, murderous plots, bushwackers, bandits, sabotage, and epic scenes of mayhem:

Project: Dreadnought
New Words: 1188 (meh.)
Present Total Word Count: 57,834 words
Goal: 120,000 words (revised goal)



Things Accomplished in Real Life: Spent Saturday running all over Issaquah and Snoqualmie, in search of old trains and old railroad paraphernalia; met Caitlin‘s mom who was very nice and bought us supper; very little else.

Other: Our train-stalking expedition was undertaken for the specific purpose of finding our own source images/content/tweakable material for a website (which is yet upcoming, but will umbrella the entirety of my steampunk universe and/or books). We actually scoped out some things we plan to tackle next weekend, also. But if you’d like to see some shots from Saturday, just click the jump.

(All pictures taken by the hubs, whose camera is better than mine.)
