make it 1900, which is half the chapter. The Beatles "Hey Bulldog" came on. ANd since most of what i needed to add involved a large hound, I felt it was a prompting. I still need the re-write. I can't vouch for it's clarity to anyone else, but I have the rough draft down. Fine tuning comes later.

Congrats.  Remember, Dave said that 2,500 was his daily average, so I'd say 1,900 is an impressive number for a days work done by a guy with an 8-5 and a family.

Two more chapters, and the book will be done.

I vote for EUOL having the most freakish writing schedule of all time.
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

If this is the TWG parody one, then I will most definately want a copy of this. Electronically.

heh.  Well, first it's certainly not a 'TWG Parody.'  I was fishing for some names, so I let some TWG people give me ideas, but other than that there's no connection.

Second, I've still got about a chapter and half left to write on it.

Third, it needs a couple weeks of revisions before it's readable.  The problem is, my editor's on my case to revise ELANTRIS, so I'm going to have to jump to that for a while.

Once it's finished, if you want to be one of my reviewers, I could probably be talked into sending you a copy.

Yeah, I'd be willing to give ya some help. But it isn't the one with the group of people that have my semi-post-apocal-symmetrical style of language?

If I'm talking about a different book altogether, do interrupt me.

No, you're right.  I loosely based the dialogue of one of the characters on your early-forum posting style.  It kind of evolved from the few examples of yours I used as a model, but I'd be interested to hear what you think of it.

Would I be able to have a read as well? *Looks hopeful*

Well, I just finished Part One of WELL OF ASCENTION.  That puts me roughly one fifth the way through the book.

Does anyone get to read any parts before you finish?
All Saiyuki fans should check out Dazzle! Emotionally wrenching action-adventure and quirky humor! (At least read chapter 6 and tell me if you're not hooked.) Volume 10 out now!

Heh.  They're barely fit for ME to read right now.  They aren't even spell-checked!
