[SimonM]

In Chapter 26 Savannah meets a lost friend.

In Chapter 27 all of our POV characters reluctantly join forces to escape the Defilers of the Twilight Shops.

Chapter 28 is up. In the Shadow of Fallen Towers is now 49000 words long and 2 chapters short of the official 1/2 way mark in the story arc.

That means 2 things:

1) provided I manage at least 1000 words in the next 3 days I'll have hit the NANOWRIMO mark for word count.

2) I can estimate that the final length of the novel will be 105000 words based on an average chapter length of 1750 chapters and 60 chapters planned in the outline.

It's still not too late to start reading the story though. I hope you do.

Chapter 29 is up. It MAY be the last chapter until Monday as I've got a convention I'm attending from Friday until Sunday and may have neither the time nor the sobriety to write much.

Back from a 3 day hiatus In the Shadow of Fallen Towers Ch. 30 focuses on Kyle as he returns with Dave Boyd as his prisoner.

[SimonM]

Chapter 31 has Kieran and Savannah scrambling to save his uncle.

There are those of us that prefer to read something when it is finished and for those, perhaps NOT telling us what is happening will keep our interest more...just saying...

When will the novel be done?

[SimonM]

There should be a complete manuscript in about one month. Then about 2 months to do the first round of revisions for the final free draft. Then another month or so for the final round of revisions for the pay-version.

And I never give you enough in those 1 sentence things to really do anything but whet your interest but if you like I'll put in spoiler blocking in the future.
