Current Project: A short story for an anthology set in Faith Hunter’s Rogue Mage world.

Upper Word Count limit: 8000 Words
Word count to date: 26,205 Words (seriously)
Days remaining: 16 days
This, for me, is the hardest part with a deadline approaching:
Leaving the damn thing alone so that you can get some distance from it. I’d like to have a few days, and I’d take those days if I had a month to work with. Since I’ve only got a little over two weeks, I’m going to limit myself to a full 24 hours.
What did I do today? I printed out the short story. All 109 pages of it. Tomorrow I’ll start reading through it, armed with a recently sharpened scalpel.
Time to kill my darlings…
