Word count -- Discount Armageddon.
Oct. 18th, 2008 10:25 pmCurrent stats:
Words: 3,598.
Total words: 20,268.
Reason for stopping: the end of chapter six is ours.
Music: lots of Broadway musicals.
Lilly: sacked out on the bed with her head on my planner.
Woo! Forward momentum! Late Eclipses of the Sun is eating the bulk of my attention right now -- to the point where look, it's even getting mentioned in the word count post for a book from a completely different series -- but I'm really glad I blocked off today for working on Discount Armageddon, because wow, does Verity improve my outlook on life. She's refreshingly blunt, and just so much fun to play with.
My cast is still fresh and new to me, so it's awesome watching the way that they react to various situations. Yes, I'm setting up a series, but the world is entirely shiny and new, and allows me to do whatever I darn well want with it. Yippee!
Because I've been asked: yes, this is an ongoing series, but it's structured to allow for natural stopping points every two or three books. The first two books focus on Verity, and are Discount Armageddon and the followup, Midnight Blue-Light Special. The third Verity book will be number five in the series, and doesn't have a name yet.
Whee!
