Yesterday was awesome, and who knows what today will bring. I am officially at the halfway point; there remains 60000 words to write in the first draft, and then:
assembly – I’m not writing it in order so there will be a little hammer to fit and paint to cover in there
editing – there are certain words and constructions that characters never use, so I have to go through and remove them, as well as ensuring that verbs all tense up together in the appropriate places and I don’t do my normal firehose style application of adverbs and adjectives to every hapless noun.

final work and then I either self publish or see if someone will take it on.
I have a real job interview for a real job next Wednesday afternoon! Not an agency. I am pleased, and I am still looking for work every day.
