Friday Update 12/20/24

This week is all about words! I’m through the opening stages of Vampire Exposed (Hellebore Court #3), just shy of 8k. Since I’m about to start chapter 4, this means Exposed will be slightly longer than the previous novella. I’m looking at a total of 25-27k to wrap it up. This is nicely within my goal range for each entry in the series and I’m not sad if they creep upward in word count as the plot gets more complex.

I made additional progress on my backlog of short story audio. I’m chipping away at that project two stories/day, just to keep it moving forward. The actual work is very boring data-entry, so if I do two of them I give myself a gold star and move on XD

I also looked back on my goals for the year and made new ones for next year. I’ll share that assessment next week, I think. I need to do some final word-and-story-counting to get final numbers.

Vampire Exposed is my last project for the year. Once I wrap it up, I’ll be taking a week off before I start new things in the new year!

Don’t forget, book 2 of Hellebore, Vampire Submitted, has started serializing on the blog. You can read it here. And book one has already serialized and is complete. You can read it here. Free membership required on the blog because the contents are spicy.
