Probably The Last Update for November

The cover is finished and aside for one minor detail I will not mention I am pleased with it.  I love just about everything for the cover for Wurm's Blood.  I just wish the book was almost finished but it still has six chapters left of the rough draft, not counting the chapter I am currently writing, which is probably going to be another rather large chapter considering everything that has take place within it.  Not much more to say so I'll leave you with the cover illustration.

Another November Update

I know, I know.  I have been really bad about updating this but I have been working on my novel Wurm's Blood.  I wish I had the luxury to do NaNoWriMo, but it takes me forever to just to write a normal novel.  If I didn't have to hold down a normal job or was more dedicated maybe I would try to do NaNoWriMo but I would rather try to get out my current novel as fast as I can without worrying about NaNoWriMo, and I have been working on Wurm's Blood.  I am in Chapter 18 and nearing the home stretch as only six chapters remain of the story.  I am at 88,000 some words approximately, and nearing novel length for a fantasy novel which I believe is around 100,000 words.  I think I will easily make it to at least 90,000 some words so I'll be close to it official novel length for the genre I am writing in.  But I am digressing from the true point of this post.  I finally got around to commissioning the cover illustration and it is looking truly awesome so far.  I am enjoying writing up the scenes as Rambert and friends have at last arrived in the realm of the Dark Elfs.  I am looking forward to the confrontation between Eldgrim and Yseult the Queen of Niflgar.  Not much else to say so I'll end it here and wish you all the best and hope you are as eager to read Wurm's Blood as I am to finally finish it :D  I'll type more when I have more to type.

A November Update

Wrote up more of Wurm's Blood scene today with my co-author as well as edited more of it.  I am now at 81,600 some words.  I do not have the goal of 100,000 words but I will not deny it would be nice to get very close to that high before the end, since that's the average word length desired by most publishers for novels in the science fiction and fantasy genre.  I also have a new picture that just got done for it.  The scene of is of the overly emotional reunion between the Zauberer Eldgrim and his elf lover, Sif.  I will type more when I have more to type.
