I had an excellent start for the first several days, but then I had to go back to work. Inevitably, my daily productivity decreased, and my considerable lead was first reduced to a slim lead, then a slim trail, and then a considerable trail. Today, I regained some of the lost momentum, but if I want to reach the quota by Day 12 (20,004 words), then I must write about 2800 words a day for the next four days. Three of those four days will be work days, so it will be no small challenge. Since Danny Boy is in Yucatán, though, there will be fewer chances for distraction during my free time. Days 13-15 are all days off, so that will be an excellent opportunity to get ahead of the quota again.
I have not yet posted an excerpt of the novel, nor have I thought of a title, but I can tell you that the official genre is fantasy (although it is equally an alternate history novel). More than that I am not prepared to disclose at this time.
