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
