I’m now at 81,190 of a projected 90,000 words (I suspect it will actually be closer to 100,000). I just got to write a scene I’ve really been looking forward to for a while.
Still can’t seem to get my protagonists to a rock concert, just as in the first book I couldn’t seem to get them to a restaurant.
This is passing through a writer’s group as a I go, so I think it’s time to go back over the last two and a half chapters before sending it off to them. I’ll likely flesh out what I’ve previously written and up the word count by a hundred or so, which usually happens when I edit my initial drafts, as I tend to write “skeletons” that I flesh out on a second pass.
And don’t forget, you can still pick up the first volume of Jake and the Dynamo on Amazon. It’s available in both Kindle and paperback formats.
