Word count -- CHIMES AT MIDNIGHT.

[seanan_mcguire]

Words: 10,747.
Total words: 60,797.
Reason for stopping: it is so time for bed.
The cats: all over the house, in parts unknown.
Music: random shuffle.

Well, there you go: 10,000 word weekend, accomplished. Along with catching up on several TV shows, a trip to the flea market, and seeing Step Up Revolution before it left theaters. What can I say? I am a simple girl, and simple girls have simple needs. Needs which frequently encompass complicated dance numbers surrounded by a simplistic and easily-followed plot.

This book is now super-solidly underway, and I'm a little bit in love with it, which is exactly as it should be. Even assuming that it's 110,000 to 115,000 words long, I'm over the halfway point, and things are getting nicely complicated, with some twists that I don't think anybody will see coming. And of course, stuff is paying off, finally, after I've been setting it up for six books.

I am happy.

Is there going to be a particular number of books in the Toby series like, say, 20 (or more)?

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Right now, we're confirmed through book ten. The exact number has yet to be determined.

"stuff is paying off, finally, after I've been setting it up for six books."

And this is exactly why I love your books so. &hearts

If you're happy, then I'm happy, and experience with your work tells me that the book is going to be awesome.
