Originally, I'd hoped to finish rewriting Fallen Horizon by May.  Now I'm just hoping to get it done sometime in May.  Looking back at my goals, I wanted to have a final rewrite of the thing done in August.  Heh.  I'm thinking September, at best.  (Ah, deja vu.)  I'm just under halfway through the book (44,000 words out of 92,000) -- currently Krylyr and Synyss are squaring off and trading information with Mr. Morgan, and the covenant is doing weird stuff it's never done before. 

I'm really hoping that this has been the difficult half.  A lot of the plot holes and connections some of my beta-readers had issues with have been filled in (hopefully).  Some of the characters -- Crash and Poe, mainly, feel like they've come a lot more into their own thus far.  But it's been hard work.  Also, I have  had a hell of a time getting up to write.  I have not been able to get up at all this week -- instead, I've had having to write only when there's a bundle of minutes tied together somewhere, which is also difficult.  I'm going to try to get up tomorrow, but with Lost on tonight at 10pm, it's going to be tough.  And I need to try and figure out a way I can be more disciplined about getting up on a more consistent basis. 

Despite the frustration, it has been fun.  Whenever I get a chance to slip into the world I want to keep going.  I just don't have as much time as I'd like.

So, goals updated: I'm now shooting to get this sucker done before May's over and possibly get it out to beta-readers by then.  That probably means I won't get to writing "Puritan Noir 2" or rewriting "God is My Programmer."  Which is not a big thing, it just makes my writing goals for June and July a little more crowded.  But, hey.  I do like crowds.
