Current project
First novel.
First draft.
Fantasy, strange things, and people trying to figure out what matters to them. I’m getting the story down before I go back to reshape it.
The draft target is 60,000 words. It’s a working estimate based on where I am in the story.
- Braindump ✓35,834 words
- First draft 27,000 / 60,000 words
- Revision Next up
Before the draft
The braindump came first: 35,834 words of getting ideas out of my head and onto the page. That stage is complete. The first draft is a separate pass, with its own count and goal.
When there’s something to read
This will also be the home for finished stories, excerpts, and future books. For now, the journal is open.
