Exciting Word Counts

Posting word counts is not the most exciting thing. Neither is reading posts about words counts. But I shall do it for the sake of accountability, if nothing else. Worked a little more on Klown Kroo tonight. It's time to leave Winslow (yes, that is where the first three chapters take place). I am at 11,800 words.

Biskits for One and All

Broke 10k words. Actually, I'm at about 10,300. Third chapter. It's not nearly the pace I had when I wrote Mindy, but, hey, I am perhaps 1/9 of the way to completing the first draft!

Appearing in Print

A story of mine is finally appearing in print. "Panorama of Failure" is in Realms, issue 2, which is currently available as a pdf but will be available in print in a few days here .

Also, "Heart Case," one of my weirder stories, is currently online at the Absent Willow Review. And another of my weirdest stories, "Planet Feast," will be online at Big Pulp on the 19th.

Stories upon stories. My output has slowed, but at least I can look forward to stories coming out for the next few months. I am still working on Klown Kroo, when I can get the time. 8500 words. Gooty is about to confront a drunk and angry Vern.

Finalement, aqui en la ropa

I am still busy beyond busy getting ready to move to Fort Smith. Pressure washing sidewalks, porches and decks has been the latest task. But I found some time to get back to writing Klown Kroo tonight. I now have just over 7000 words. Daniel is about to meet Gooty. Oh, Gooty, how the people will love you. Gooty, for the record, is not a clown. He is a roustabout, aka rouster. Not unlike Jim Varney! Behold: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iu4byzqz2rc
