-11 words on the day. The next novel is getting shorter!
But at least what I've written so far is up to my standards. Editing can be a disappointing exercise. Starweaver's Dawn is 100% outlined and the word count is standing around 4500 words so far. I ordered the proof copy of Starweaver's Retreat from CreateSpace.com today - so I will officially be "in print" soon. I watched the live video chat with Neal Stephenson today. It's an interesting data point that I have not, as of yet, made enough money as an author to afford an ebook copy of his new novel. Publicity, it seems, is quite expensive to gather at $.99 an impression. I took some solace in the fact that only 300 or so people connected to the chat room. Selling books can be rough for even the superstars.
