Lest you folks think I’ve completely forgotten about this project — Here are the recent stats on the Clockwork Century story, “Far-Fetched” — about an apprentice airship engineer named Huojin and his adventures aboard the Naamah Darling, now with Bonus! mayhem in the Shanghai Tunnels of Portland:


    Project: “Far-Fetched”
    Deadline: February 20, 2010
    New Words Written: 3184 (in a week – terrible)
    Present Total Word Count: 6090



    Things Accomplished in Fiction: Wrote my way to the climax; quit composing in the middle of it (just for tonight).

    Things Accomplished in Real Life: Today? Lunch with a friend; day-job work; errands; a very short and accidental nap.

    Other: I failed at my “write every day” resolution, which sucks — but all I can do is strive to pick up where I left off and keep composing. The dental work, of all things, really threw me off. It left me with a (total) 3-day headache wherein I felt frankly ill and just didn’t want to do a damn thing but lie around in the dark and eat pudding or drink. But I’ll probably finish the story in one more sitting, giving me a few days to edit it up nicely before it’s due.

    Other, redux: But that probably won’t be tomorrow. I’ll be out of town most of the day. Tonight, I have something else I want to noodle with. I’m on schedule. I can afford to noodle. And, um, watch a little TV.

    Total Official Word Count of 2010: 18,227 words
