Here’s the weekend’s progress on my Hunley version 4.0 submarine book about Andan Cly and his crew having a damp misadventure in a Texian-occupied New Orleans, plus Bonus! guerrilla warfare, other assorted historic pirates, and an octoroon madam who moonlights as a Union spy.

Project: Ganymede
Deadline: November 1, 2010
New words written: 1841 (ugh)
Present total word count: 44,101 words




Things accomplished in fiction: Sent a telegram or two; had some bad gossip confirmed; hopped on a boat in the dark in the swamp and prayed for the best.

Next up: NOW it’s time for “gators, Texians, and paranoid privateers.”

Things accomplished in real life: Daily run/climb; cleaned house somewhat; lots of business emails, even on the weekend, yes; a few phone calls; did a whole lot of errand-running for self and others; plotted some of my DragonCon packing.

Other: Piddly word count, yes. The mere fact of a weekend is no freaking excuse. I very badly want to beat 50K before leaving town, and this is NOT the way to go about it. But holy crap, I need a break and oh look, AFV is on and I have wine. Perhaps a break is called for.

Total Official Word Count of 2010: 172,712 words
