78,000 words of 85,000 done. (If it is a bit less, great, but for me upper not lower limits are what I struggle with.) Unfortunately, one of the unfinished chapters is at the beginning which is delaying it getting out to beta readers. Instead of first section done mid-Nov, it will be an almost complete work out in mid-Dec. I have one chapter to write, one to heavily revise, and one Appendix to completely rewrite. Still good progress. And I finally got the stuff I needed via interlibrary loan to write that early chapter.

It sounds like you're making great progress there.

If anyone wants to beta about fifty pages of a mystery for me, I'd be grateful.

I'm going to be stuck in a waiting room for routine med stuff today, so send it along and I'll give a quick beta.

It's a big mess...It's a NaNo so I did it quick and dirty. Not apologizing...just, you know.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore
If anyone's interested, I made a little ebook of some short stories I wrote. It's called "four love stories, and a robot" and is available here.

Cool. Something for my E-reader, it's been hungry for new content.

That feedbooks site is interesting (the place Holli's book is at). I like how it puts things into so many formats including Kindle. It's something I can definitely see as being useful for distributing a free book.

“Not dead yet!”
Heh, Gud, I saw that last week and was howling because every single writer I know has had that conversation with someone, at least, in part.
By the time it got to the last minute, all I could think was, "It's James Frey's life story..."
