I was originally planning to accomplish the following:

• Complete NINE Draft 4.
• Complete NINE Draft 5.
• Complete THE BILLIONAIRE’S VENGEFUL PROPOSITION Draft 1.
• Complete THE BILLIONAIRE’S VENGEFUL PROPOSITION Draft 2.
• Enter SHOMI Contest.

Well, things have changed. So here’s the new list:

• Complete NINE Draft 4.
• Complete NINE Draft 5.
• Complete THE BILLIONAIRE’S VENGEFUL PROPOSITION Draft 1.
• Complete THE BILLIONAIRE’S VENGEFUL PROPOSITION Draft 2.
• Enter SHOMI Contest.
• Complete ALL THE KING’S WOMEN world-building.
• Complete ALL THE KING’S WOMEN outline.

progress: 345/ 400 (pages)

My hands are killing me, and my wrists feel like they’re about to spontaneously combust, but I got so much done this week.

I’m sorry I haven’t been updating my blog very regularly. With my wrist pain, etc. I had to stay away from typing too much–okay, typing and not working on my WIP.

I feel unbelievably tired, but at the same time feel proud that I’m so close to being done with Nine. I like the story, but it’s been giving me a lot of trouble, especially the ending, so I feel superbly thrilled.

BTW — I bought refills for Pilot EasyGrip pens because they write very smoothly and I like the way they feel in my hand. But after long-hand writing sixteen typed pages’ worth of ms, my hand is completely numb! Oi.

It’s going well. The total page count is 239, which isn’t too bad.

I’m planning to slow down a little bit though since I’m at a tricky part of the story — about 50-70% mark.
