I&#8217;m still a bit behind where I should be, but not by very much. It&#8217;s a lot easier to write 30k words in a month than 50k words.

For that reason, I&#8217;m not too keen on it, but it was a story that needed to be written, to get it off of my chest if nothing else. The rough draft comes to about 4.1k words, but I think I can cut a solid 600 words out of it, or more, and it would probably be an improvement. But that&#8217;s going to wait until next month, at the earliest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, I&#8217;m reasonably confident that this story will get me blacklisted at most of the pro-paying science fiction markets, or at least the ones that keep a blacklist. But I care less about that than the fact that most of them will flat-out reject it, on political grounds if not for the quality of the writing or the story, and I&#8217;m certain that most of them will. But whatever. I think my readers will like enough to make a splash when I self-publish it, and I care more about that at this point than about making a professional sale.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Words written: 1,778 Total stories written: 1 Total words written: 2,775 Total words remaining: 27,225 Total words behind: 129 Made good progress today.
