61,000 Words and Other Stuff

The book is still progressing better than I could have hoped.  My target is still around 90,000 words, and I hope to expand more sections of story, and add a few more twists to the plot.

This weekend was a little bit of a challenge, because I met up with some family.  It was nice, and they asked how my writing was going.  I felt bad, because I won't tell them my pen name.  The Madison series of books have some grown-up type content in them, and I would prefer that my family didn't read those stories.  I feel like I may have hurt some of their feelings.  One even said 'well if you wrote it, it can't be that bad'.  Unfortunately though, it has more adult content than I would like them to know I write about.

The good thing is that the book I'm currently working on can be read be most any age, as there is no bad language or sexual content.  I'm looking forward to sharing this story with them.

Thank you again readers for waiting patiently for Madison 2.  I'm still waiting to get my edits back from two people, so I have no set timeline for its release.

55k and Counting!

So I've hit 55,000 words, and I feel like when I hit 60,000 it will all be downhill from there.  I was finally able to write a section that I'd come up with a few weeks ago, but hadn't written enough story yet to reach the point where I could add it.  I'm very much hoping to come up with a couple more clever ideas to go along with it, but the first idea was challenging enough to come up with in the first place.  I just hope that this book is truly as good as I feel it is. :-)  <3
