Well, I'm at about 92K. Things going well enough, I think. I think I fixed the boring stuff by following my advice and doing something completely different. The mystery is now quite a strong theme which gives the front end impetus to the middle. I haven't really written much of the passionate scenes yet. I'll do another paper read-through this weekend. Lord Ruin flirted with 2,000 in the Amazon rankings a few times, but over the last few days seems to be settling into the 10K's. Now that school has started, I need to be even more disciplined about hours. I may drop one of my classes and only do one this semester since I just found out that in the Fall one one of them has been combined with a required class I haven't taken yet so that if I take it, I'll end up repeating it.
