Progress Report, in which I do what I do

The power supply in my computer finally gave up the ghost last week.  Undaunted, I’ve busted out the laptop and forged ahead.  ‘Cause that’s what I do.

After some initial uncertainty, I figured out how to fix some pacing problems and made good headway on the rewrite of "The Hills."  And y’all know what that means . . . it’s time for Magic Meter to make a reappearance!  Do contain your excitement.

It’s actually a smidge longer in the rewrite, but it flows better this time around, and my protagonist has more of a spine now.

What’s that you say?  You’d like a snippet?  

Well, sure, what the hell:
 
In that moment, a rifle blast took out the sheet of graffiti-sprayed plywood that served as the door.

It fell over, sporting a gaping hole.  Eddie instinctively hit the deck.  Afternoon sunlight blazed through, silhouetting a massive figure that charged inside.  Eddie needed only a glimpse to spot the distinctive headdress of the Mouseketeers–his worst fears realized.  They had found him.


I also knocked out another review for Fantasy, which should be going up soon.  And hey!  That’s word count, too!  Just for kicks, let’s throw another Magic Meter out there:
 
No snippet for this one.  You’ll be able to read it in its entirety soon, no worries.

Once I finish this rewrite, it’s time to dig into the second draft of Wet Work.  That should take me through to June, at which point, I’ll need a new novel to work on.  Still have no idea what that will be.  Walkin’ on the wild side.  ‘Cause that’s what I do.

No updates for Write Club.

Outta here.
