Knee-Deep

I've been remiss, and not just because of an ill-timed work trip to Rwanda. I'm knee-deep in my novel.

The novel proposal's been something of a hit. Turns out people want to see pages. Pages! Who knew that in order to sell a novel you'd have to, well, write a novel? Makes things that much more complicated.

So I've been writing. And making decent progress. With solid drafts of the first three chapters, I'm already nearing the 20k word mark, which leaves me with, let me see, only another hundred thousand words left to write. Hmmm....

So I suppose I should get to it. Happy Memorial Day y'all.

PS And on the right, my brand new bathing suit. (No photos please.)

Sounds wonderful, Seth! I will be on your reader list when that novel is out. I am, myself, in the process of writing one, and having made progress that is nowhere close to what you have, I too am grappling with the complications of actually having to write a book in order to sell it. Fun, fun.

Just popping by to see how the journey is going. Sounds like it's well underway. Godspeed...
