Taking a small break before going back to the novel.
Meanwhile, I’m starting on a new fantasy short story that’s written to follow a formula (no, not a mathematical one). It’s an interesting exercise, and I feel pretty good about it.

NaNoWriMo Done
And … we are done! About 112,935 words. My first novel (Lisa’s too), and now come the edits.
We’re celebrating tonight with some wine and steaks.
Audio Version of Algorithms for Love
Audio version of my story, “The Algorithms for Love,” has been published by Nil Desperandum. It’s narrated by Lorna Boyle.
NaNoWriMo Progress at Halfway
November is about halfway over, and Lisa and I are at 68,000 words. Now I’m thinking this is going to be about 120,000 words when finished.
This is, by the way, the most words I’ve ever written on any single work. It alone probably equals or exceeds the number of words in all the short fiction I’ve written this year.
You’ll Always Have the Burden With You
Remember how I always wanted to write a specfic story about the tax code? That story, “You’ll Always Have the Burden With You,” has been sold to Dagan Books for the IN SITU anthology.
Now this isn’t a specfic story involving the tax code PLUS Lisp programming, which I have yet to write. But I’m halfway to completing my goal now.
NaNoWriMo Progress
37,000 words so far. Lisa and I are chugging along. This likely will be a 100,000-word novel.
