kilroy5100 words in, exactly on schedule (just 1700 words a day!). As expected, much of it is crap. But I'm beginning to find things that I really like in it. This sucker will probably be 50,000 words on the nose when it's done, then be hewn down like a clear-cut forest and rebuilt from scratch.
But I'll have the materials. I'll have a novel at the end of this. I can't believe it. :)
By the way, the novel is called The Year of Saying Goodbye and is twelve connected vignettes which will NOT have the same narrator. Currently a lot of it's in first person, and I think I'm probably going to stick with all-male narrators for this one just for cohesion-- but we'll see how things turn out. The novel is fiction straight-up, no science or fantasy chasers.
This is a good time. I highly recommend it.
