Well, I’ve just finished my second week of five doing three post-grad classes at the same time, and it is tough. But I’ve only got three more weeks to go.
I’ve have a particularly hard time finding time to write this past week. Available time goes first to classes. Then we had family visiting and that took a bit too.
When school let out for summer, I cranked out chapter 15 of The Price of Magic in 11 days. Chapter 16 took only 4 days. Chapter 17 only 3 days. But I’m barely into chapter 18, and it’s been 6 days already. Maybe I can crank it up now.
The book was originally plotted to be 25 chapters, but I’ve combined two already. Books 2, 5, and 6 were all plotted out at 25 chapters and they ended up being 21. Book 1 was going to be 25 and ended up 23. So we’ll just see. In any case, if I can get going, I should be done with the draft soon.
Smashwords is now offering to put books up for preorder, even before they are finished, but I think I need to at least have my first draft done before I decide its delivery date.
