January 13

Took the weekend off. Monday, 639, total of 4,489.

Laurell K. Hamilton posts some chapters of her work on her website. She has chapter one of one of her books on there. It was under two thousand words. In flipping through another of her books in the store, I found that she writes chapters that are about six pages in length, so she can have a 55-chapter book. Congratulations, I suppose, but it's hardly impressive.

My outline gives me twenty-one chapters, and assuming 7K words a chapter, that would be 147,000 words for the book. I imagine I'll end up writing more words than that; there are a few chapters that I can't imagine coming in under that projection.

It's kind of nice having a "secret" blog. I don't imagine I'll make any kind of noise about this one.
