The three week hiatus has now passed, and as promised, I am back at the keyboard!

For the record, the vacation was outstanding! For further record, my exam the following weekend went very well, and with any luck I’ll get good news about that exam sometime between now and Christmas.

But back to writing! I have a plan in effect… I will finish the first draft of The Curse Merchant by September 1st. Doing the math, I feel I can make 80,000 words if I write 1300 a day. That should be no problem at all. My average work-week productivity is closer to 2000 words, which means I’ll have a thicker first draft to whittle down come revision time.

Forward, march!
