Fast and hard and fun

Apr 25, 2007

Jon and I are officially done with the second half of the comic special. Yea!
I did six pages on Merry this morning. I’ve outlined to almost the end. I’m not sure what the last scene will be. I’ve narrowed it down to about five possibilities. If you don’t see a scene at the end of this book it will be at the beginning of the next one. I actually did six pages of actual book, and six pages of outline. The book is almost toast.
I hadn’t had a chance to work on the Jason novel/novel-lite since Sunday. But because we finished yesterday on the comic, and I needed to let the outline on LICK OF FROST soak over night in my imagination, I ended up with a few hours this afternoon. I’ve been editing the pages I’d already done, but this book is really pushing, so when I had a chance today I took it.
I did sixteen pages to add to the sixteen or seventeen I’d already done. Not bad for a couple of hours. Jon came over to discuss dinner. I said I’d be right over. Ten more pages later, I was done for the day. So, twenty-six pages in one day. Forty something all together in two days time. No, not two days. Two afternoons of about two hours a piece. The last time I hit the beginning of a book this hard was MICAH. It’ s writing fast and hard. And I’m having fun. What could be better?
