Update on WIP / Happenings In The Outhouse 06-Feb-2026

My current work-in-progress is probably one of the most difficult novels I have ever worked on.  And that's saying something because I have written some very large, epic fantasy novels with a word count of several hundred thousand words.  Even my first two novels that I had written were over 1,000 pages on my Brother word processor.

What makes this one so different?

First, there are so many competing points of view, and so much going on that I can't keep it all straight in my head.  Not that I should.  I normally keep a written record of each chapter--something simple, like what happened in 1-3 sentences--but for whatever reason I have not done that.

Until now.

I have over 30,000 words into it, and probably close to the halfway point.  I think.  Who knows with me when I start getting into a story.  It's still fun, but when I spend time going back to see what happened and where I'm going, it bogs it down.
