Wishes
November word count:
Beginning: 76 K
Ending: 92K
Though it
isn’t completed, I am satisfied with the word count. I broke through several
levels of angst, head banging, and general malaise to get to this point. A
monumental achievement, I assure you.
First
paragraph. Tell me if it is a hooker, er, um, hooks you.
His lazy strides across the mall caught my attention. Like he had time to kill and everyone else could wait at his leisure. Most galling was how people moved out of his way without disruption. No glares. No commotion.
I don’t think the word count will go to 100K but if it does, I will have enough storyline and volume to fiddle with now.
Reminder:
Untraceable is available.

ReplyDeleteGood for you--that's a hefty bunch of words! Congrats and best wishes to get them how you want. I think your opening is intriguing; the character catches the attention of the reader as well as the MC. :)
