A mini-update

Hey all,

Well as you can probably tell from the meager amount of info on the site over the last few weeks life has been too hectic and full to do any writting :( BUT with that said I am now back on the case having notched up another 6000 words and mapped out the remaing chapter structres... All told there should be about 30 - 32 chapters in the book. The word count is probably going to exceed the 70K that I set as my ultimate goal and I'm pleased with that. I still feel there is more than 1/4 of the story left to tell in less than 1/4 of the overall page count so rather than squeeze things in and cut out details I have no problems with exceeding my word limit. I never intended to write a massive wedge of a book, just enought to convey the story and setup the characters in a compelling enough plot/universe.

Anyhoooo completion by the end of this year is now almost guaranteed (as long as I don't shirk off too much !) and I will be proofreading it over the holiday break with a view to sending the manuscript out to agents/publishers in the new year... so hold tight and I will keep you updated.

Thanks all,

Zeth

Yeah I suck!

Sorry everyone but nothing has been written since the last time I posted - shame on me ! I have just not felt the insperation to do any writing since then and the last thing I want to do is force the issue. When I write the story and seems to just flow through as if I am watching a movie or reading a book myself. The last thing I want to do is turn this into a "process" becuase it would not work.

So, I will continue as soon as the passion takes me, I am still on course to complete the story by the end of '08 which, for my first attempt at a project of this scale, I am pretty pleased about :)

Take care all,
Zeth
