I have to add two more chapters in order to tie in some of the story. The work is coming along nicely.

As of January 3, 2018, I’m up to 68000 words and growing. In that time, however, the manuscript will inflate and deflate as I write and edit. Such is the ebb and flow of a writer’s work.

This is about 2,000 words greater than what I had in September. I’ve subtracted a lot so the net gain isn’t by much, but we’ll see how that turns out in the final edit. It could be less, or more. Whatever makes the work its best.

I’ll post more soon. Right now, I’ve got to get back to writing.
