Here’s today’s 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, bushwhackers, bandits, sabotage, and epic scenes of mayhem:

Project: Dreadnought
New Words: 3096 (Meh. Some is from yesterday.)
Present Total Word Count: 77,442 words
Goal: 120,000 words



Things Accomplished in Fiction: Espionage.

Things Accomplished in Real Life: Napped some more, due to ongoing sort-of-illness that is sometimes okay, sometimes not; did lots of day-job reading; changed all bedding due to a certain small, black, furry someone who was kind enough to barf all over my new sheets; got hijacked by an AWESOME new idea that I have exactly ZERO time and/or brainpower to address right now — but which prompted some irresistible research that I really should not have done because I could’ve gotten another thousand words written if I’d had any freaking self-restraint.

Reason for Stopping: Suppertime. Though I’m going to try to get some more writing done this evening. What? You don’t know. It could happen.
