Trilogy Update

I'm not sure I've ever had a year fly by quite like 2012 has. My writing goals have shifted, but not changed too dramatically. Here's what I've done:

  • Although my initial plan was to write the third book in the trilogy, then rework the first a bit, I got 20,000 words into the third and had an epiphany about my main character, and how the first book was limiting the whole series a bit.

    So... I pitched the entire first book (again) and started over. I'm now just over 100,000 words into the rewrite, and I'm very excited about it. I think it's a much stronger story than the original, both in terms of characters and plot.
I am determined to get a draft finished by the end of 2012. But the third book in the trilogy will be a project for next year.
