Writing Update—Jan 31, 2023

Another week. Another update.

Writing Challenge—Shut up and write 2023

The Fragments, Trade Paperback Edition

Goal 1 – Complete the first draft of The House by the end of February.

The very (very) rough draft for The House is done! #happydance … . Now the real work begins! I already know that I will need to rewrite large parts in the first half of the draft, so process will slow down for the next weeks. Still, I hope to have a more flashed-out first draft done by the end of February!

Words written in 2023 — 15,000*
The House, first draft — 79,000** words
