Back to the Grind

Back to work this week. At first it took me some time to get back into the swing of things, but when I did, I think things went quite well.

It was also nice to have a Saturday that didn't pass in complete panic as I tried to make 5,000 words before bed.

Actual Writing Done

Holding the Pass: 1283
City of Mages: 1897

Looking over the outline, we haven't really got much left to do.

Between Grave Promises and Rock and a Hard Place, we should write a piece of domesticity for someone. Just to break up the two emotional pieces.

I need to finish writing Machines of War and Holding the Pass. Both of these require I do some research on catapults and war machines.

I need to rewite Floristahn's Fall and Coming of the Chained to fit with the backstory Liz reworked in Giants at Sunset

Liz needs to rewrite Sorvech's Coup to fix some technical details

Pieces left to be written

• Arrival of the Fleet - Kronig's troops arrive in Kristelstahn
• Reinforcements - Alarik and Simone's argument
• Blood and Water - Monika and Alarik discuss peace between Loyalists and Tutors
• The Delegation - Sending Talarin circle north to make demands of Sorvech
• Hammer and Anvil - Harrik and Brunklaust's theological argument
• Kronig's Return - Alarik, troops and Monika arrive in Zhakistahn
• Revealing the Conspirators - Ismael testifies to Sorvech's treason in return for clemency
• In the Shadow of Death - Brunklaust suicides
• What He Would Have Wanted - Araejan and Heidel wed
• Circle of Life - Serji and Darin born

All things considered, we'll probably be done writing in a month.

Then comes the fun part. Editing. Oh, rapture.

Total Word Count: 261,742
