HALFWAY

We interrupt your regular broadcasting to announce: HALFWAY, PEOPLE!

I’m feeling really good about Edgewood. From where I’m standing now, I’m absolutely going to finish on time. And the novel’s going quite well, in spite of / because of some minor unexpected events. The general contents of the next two chapters are largely assembled in my mind, and I’m excited to find out the exact details of what happens.

Supposedly, Week One is supposed to be the easy adrenaline-filled week and Week Two is where the writing gets hard. But I was sick during Week One and had to force myself to write, whereas Week Two has seen my plot and energy pick up significantly. I hope that means that Week Three, which is supposed to bring you to the magic 35,000-word mark, will be even easier.

P.S. If you ask really nicely, I might let you read the first half.
