Barracuda 2

Here we are. It's been a month since I wrote anything here. It's still not spring and I haven't quite thrown away the winter coat. Though, it's not anywhere -30 to -50 anymore. The temperatures are more pleasant and the snow is melting. Unlike the places I see across the country without a trace of snow anywhere.

But, the writing has been nonstop. I am trying for 2000 words a day. Sometimes I make it, others I don't. I do try for the very least of 1000. So, it might be a little longer completing this novel. But, my aim is still the end of April for the first draft. And what I mean by the that is the sewing up of loose ends as well. That might hold me back a bit. We'll see.

Anyway, I am within 40,000 words of completion. That is to get beyond the 100,000 mark. Therefore, the editing will bring it back to the lower level for a novel of this type. I hope that I am on target enough that I can start submitting it to agents by July. I have some people wanting to be readers for this particular venture. I hope to get a couple of published authors and an editor I trust to read it as well. Anyway, I have surpassed the novella area and well into the novel range. Hopefully, by this time next month I will be finished and letting it sit and simmer for a few weeks.

Talk at ya all then.
