Chapter 27 and 28 have fallen victim to my keyboard now. That's 160,000 words. I'm in the home stretch now.
See how I'm not punching him? I think I've grown.

I do not know what I would do without baby name lists for various countries.

...so I have this dusty manuscript that's been on a back burner for, oh, years, and I decided that this summer I'd finish it, just to show that I can finish the damn thing. I've got several other ideas for original fiction, but I want to finish this, if I can, because even if it turns out not to be publishable, I think I'll learn plenty from DOING it, you know?
I've gone back and poked it with a stick, and I'm happy to find that, yes, I still like the 'verse and the characters - I think it's mostly plotting that I need to get on top of.
Um. So I was wondering if anyone might be inclined to read through 40,000 words of an urban fantasy type thing, and give me their thoughts on whether it's working so far?

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Fay, I'd be happy to look at it. I probably won't be able to get to it until this weekend, though.

Awesomecakes! Thank you! Although - oh, nuts, it's in NeoOffice, not Word - I don't have Word for Mac. So I could maybe cut'n'paste sections into emails?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Fay, you can save NeoOffice documents as Word docs.

Getting so close. I'm guessing about 21-23 word-processor pages left in the draft. Though now it feels like that's when the real work begins.

Because books.
Hey, don't discount the first draft. That's a hell of a lot of work, right there.
Fay, I'd love to take a look!
