I don't know if you've noticed, but I've greatly reduced the estimated word count of the first book. I don't know where I got the magic number 350k from, but I've since changed it to 150k. Following the formula that a page are an estimated 250 words, that would make the finished book end up a comfy 600 pages.
Ah, well.
The upside of the reduction is that I'm no longer 9% done, but at a whopping 21%!
If I keep going at this speed, I should be done with book one by mid August.
Now, is this a realistic estimate? No way. But having 1/5 of the book written in under a week feels damn good!
Depending on how things are shaping up, I might write until I'm done - or, more likely, run head-on into a block - but if you end up having to wait longer for book one, book two will be following sooner after that.
Happy Sunday everyone!
