Novel Stats

Metrics for HAPPY, THE END

Daily Word Count: 630 today, 11.3k total (out of a likely 40-50k)

Inspirations: Jeremy Enigk, Copeland, Tolkien, The Last of the Mohicans Soundtrack

The good:
“The Diekost once crossed the length of Postworld. The Imperial Express ran this length of track, but its whistle has not sounded for more than a hundred years. Still, the tracks of the Diekost have not curved with time and they will lead us to Whitecloud – and who knows? Maybe even to the end of the quest... But Jack will tell us such things.”

Bad writing skill that needs to go away: Same as before. Where's the urgency? I'm worried that this section is lacking in some basic logic. Don't the questers worry that they don't know much about their quest? Stuff to fix in a rewrite.

Moving forward. Thank the Lord for Tolkien. The man is amazingly inspirational.

JMeadows posted three chapters of Toil for the Wind to the OWW. Looking forward to reading those.

Work is insane!
