Whackmaster 3000

Dutifully whacked chapter 8 and into chapter 9. Now, time passes between chapters 7 and 8, quite a bit, and so there's a lot of exposition in there I have to tighten up. Could be pretty boring otherwise. It's all in there for a reason, but the puzzle will be how to deliver it without being boring.

At any rate, 100 pages until the end to look at, some material to add in from the first version, and then another language polish/write. I wonder if I can have this back in Agent A's hands before the college breaks for Christmas. I think that's what I'd like to shoot for.

Then I can focus on a paper I have to do comparing English language education in the US and in Japan. And the next book.

Remember, these posts are mostly to keep me honest. However, now that I'm thinking of it, I'm curious. What are you folks working on right (or write) now?

Me? I'm blogging. :)

Actually, today I'm starting the next chapter in my WIP. I have about 18,000 words of a proposed 40,000 (it's MG). And I've decided that I'm going to finish the draft before the end of the year. There's nothing else happening in December, is there...?

(Eek...)
