My daily word count – 2012

In order to keep myself honest, I’m going to make this page public and try to add to it on a daily basis.  Hopefully, public scorn and humiliation will force me to write more!

If you’re interested in doing this same 500 words/day, you can see the #WIP500 details at Cara Michaels’ blog.  You can sign up at any time of the year.  Join in…whaddya got to lose?

A note on the stories (which I’ll add to as they come up):

THE WRONG

Yay!  After going through The Not Real and The African Shuffle, this story has an official name. This started as a short story, but I think it’s going to be more novella-length.  Or maybe a novel.  I don’t know…this one scares me.
UPDATE: First draft completed Feb 18!

SOFT KISS, HARD DEATH

Formerly named Out, this is an idea I’ve been kicking around for a couple of years, then I got some outside motivation to work it up into a novella.  You can read a bit more about it here and more about the series it’s being written for, the Sam Truman Mysteries, here.
UPDATE: First draft completed Feb 10!
UPDATE TO THE UPDATE: This will be published in ebook form (see the link above) on July 1, 2012.
