Here are recent stats on my second urban fantasy adventure — this time with my neurotic undead thief, her shady agent, a cigar box full of magical penis bones, a mentally ill former NASA engineer-turned-sorceress, and the continued fabulosity of a Cuban drag queen:

    Project: Hellbent
    Deadline: August 9, 2010
    New Words Written: 1248
    Present Total Word Count: 11,645



    Things Accomplished in Fiction: Pissed and moaned; packed for an adventure; compared luggage components to X-Men.

    Things Accomplished in Real Life: Day-job work in the mornings; brainstorming and reading for pitch information in the afternoons; two podcast interviews (one with BookBanter and one with GeeksGalaxy); finally claimed my Goodreads author account and spent some time cleaning it up (feel free to add me — I add everybody back); stuck the cute little Goodreads widget on my main webpage (scroll down); went shopping with Caitlin and yea verily, I did acquire new jeans.

    Other: These stats are positively embarrassing. That’s a 3-day count, right there — and my only defense is that I removed probably 800-900 words in the process of cleaning up what had come before (and doing a little restructuring). Still, freakin’ feeble.

    Total Official Word Count of 2010: 11,645 words

    At first glance, I read that as, “…necrotic undead thief…” Which made perfect sense.
