Wow its been a while again.

Last night I finally wrote again. Times have been really tough lately and I've not been doing myself any favors...

That said, I hit the 30K word count in the Telamon last night. Almost back up to the 40K I had in the previous version. Sigh. If nothing else, it proves i can write an entire book in four months.

Mitch is still in the slaver camp, on, I believe, day 2. Nash is still crazy, and Pablo (The leader of the camp) is a right bastard!

Some first section retooling.

So now that Mitch is in the slaver camp, I have been thinking a bit about where to go. The new character, Nash, is actually a robe pretending to be crazy ( and a slave ).

I think he'll be in on the slave escape and then reveal himself. Last night's writing went really well, did 1700+ words of chapter 20, plus several pages of planning for the escape and where Mitch goes from here.

I think I have a really great roadmap for how Mitch ends up in Tennessee again.

Up to about 28000 words now! 37% of the way through the book! (Of course, I'm thinking its going to end up around 120K words at the going rate...
