23-Sep-10 6:29am 733 IT'S DONE! Wrote that extra scene, and the first draft is officially complete. Let the celebrations begin! 95,217
22-Sep-10 1:17pm 1,633 I've just written the last chapter. Unfortunately, I realised I need to write another scene for earlier in the book. Tomorrow it'll be done! 94,484
21-Sep-10 1:01pm 2,014 So close to the end. Got a final scene to write in the last chapter, but need to give it some thought first. 92,851
20-Sep-10 4:04am 1,334 Thank goodness for that. Had a mini-block over the weekend, but it broke today. Finished chapter thirty five - so there's only one left! 90,837
17-Sep-10 6:37am 834 Oops, forgot to update yesterday, here is Thursday's word count - low as I had a lot of client work on. Boo. 89,503
15-Sep-10 3:26am 1,765 That's today's word count so far. The chapter took an unexpected turn but I think I will stick with the result. Good to be back :) 88,669
15-Sep-10 3:25am 4,376 Bits and pieces written whilst on holiday, so I didn't update at the time. 86,904
31-Aug-10 2:36pm 751 Tonnes of client work and launch of my first pro audio book stole too many hours away today. Will make it up tomorrow. 82,528
30-Aug-10 7:14am 1,689 Finished chapter 31. I am really putting these poor characters through the mill. Some nice things are happening to them too, but oh, poor, poor Titus. Ooops, better shut up now. 81,777
28-Aug-10 11:03am 1,167 80,088
27-Aug-10 12:51pm 3,840 It's late, I'm tired and that is the only thing bringing me to a halt. This story is stampeding to its end, and I am barely able to keep up with it. 78,921
26-Aug-10 2:08pm 1,641 I had to do a lot of client work today, so much I was worried I wouldn't have anything left in me for TYL2. Fool. Should have known that Erin and Zane wouldn't leave me alone until I went back to them. It's very late, I've very tired, but feel so good to have got that done. 75,081
25-Aug-10 1:22pm 5,578 That is not a typo. It is in fact my personal best word count for a single day. I feel a tad squiffy,but exhilarated too! Finished chapter 26, then wrote chapter 27 and then they wouldn't let me go, so chapter 28 got written too. Holy moly. 73,440
24-Aug-10 1:17pm 1,052 Finished the day with an evening of writing. Tired from long day of client work, so only half of chapter done, still pleased though. 67,862
24-Aug-10 1:34am 412 Mini writing session before client meeting today, finished off chapter 25. If I can write chapter 26 later I'll be a very happy bunny. 66,810
23-Aug-10 2:01pm 1,788 One chapter was not enough today, so spent some of the evening writing too. Half way through chapter twenty five, so in last ten chapters of book two now, woot! 66,398
23-Aug-10 6:11am 2,691 Another chapter done, and I don't want to stop. 64,610
22-Aug-10 10:40am 867 Only had forty minutes to write today between other commitments, but 867 and the completion of chapter 23 ain't bad at all considering... 61,919
21-Aug-10 2:40pm 1,919 Just finished a scene between Titus and the Red Lady. So great to listen to her again. 61,052
20-Aug-10 12:28pm 3,406 Great day, did some planning this afternoon, then worried I wasn't in mood to write. I'm old enough and ugly enough now to know that should be ignored, once I got going it was hard to stop! Just finished chapter 22 :o) 59,133
19-Aug-10 2:03am 1,002 Titus has just done something that I hope will create a big debate amongst TYL fans... 55,727
18-Aug-10 2:48am 1,048 That's chapter 20's first draft done, and the book is storming along under its own momentum now. I am just trying to keep up with the characters, writing down what I see and hear. I know the shape of the last part of the book now, and have a good feeling about it. 54,725
17-Aug-10 8:47am 1,484 53,677
16-Aug-10 7:22am 1,005 I knew that earlier bout wasn't enough! I still don't feel satisfied. Cup of tea and maybe the next scene. Ah Mr Bradbury, I am drunk on writing! 52,193
16-Aug-10 3:04am 1,377 No writing over the weekend made me so miserable. This morning's thousand plus is not enough... must return later. 51,188

12-Aug-10 2:22am 1,468 48,483
11-Aug-10 2:32am 1,709 Just finished major chapter that I've been nervous about for a while. Am pleased with the first draft, and have a good feeling about the book. 47,015
10-Aug-10 3:04am 1,080 Getting right back into the flow again after three weeks away from the project due to illness. Feels so good, but so hard to stop writing and do client work! 45,306
9-Aug-10 12:32pm 805 I wrote 1,136 this morning too, but that's been included in the starting amount. A good day methinks, and I have stopped mid scene so that I am burning to continue tomorrow morning. 44,226
