Words: 9,190.
Total words: 33,533.
Reason for stopping: finished chapter seven/book one. Time to watch some TV.
Music: random shuffle, lots of goth and punk.
Cats: Alice, unknown; Lilly, curled up on my bed; Thomas, curled up behind my chair, making chirping noises. Again.

As of tonight, I am a) done with chapter seven, b) done with Book I, c) officially over 30,000 words, and d) officially over 100 pages. Since this book is projected at 145,000 words (welcome to Stephen King territory, please keep your hands inside the car at all times), this is kinda awesome—I really needed to be moving into these regions. This also means that I am now at the top of the first big hill, and can begin to PLUMMET RAPIDLY DOWNWARD. Woo!

I'm terribly excited about this book, and terribly dismayed about the fact that I can't really discuss it with anyone, beyond "well, there are words on pages, and the pages are turning into a manuscript, and it's all very exciting," since it's basically one big REDACTED FOR SPOILERS at this point. Ah, well. Soon enough.

When will you rise?

I'm also very pleased that this one is steaming along. Very eager to get my hands on Deadline later this year.
