Since the last two posts didn’t go through right, figured condensing them into one rather than reposting late.

Done introducing new characters for now. Little ancillary ones, of course, but no new mains for another 12 chapters or so. Got a good read from my alpha reader with excellent feedback. Changes a few things in context, reinforces a few other things, helps with formatting, and above all great idea on keeping people straight for the readers.

Word count updated. At present rate, should finish the goal of 50k words on Christmas Eve. Not acceptable. Need to find another gear now that I’m finally shaking this cold.

Writing this one with an eye towards Kindle/iBook release only. Why waste time on an agent for a “throwaway” book, right?  Right?
