February 68k Writing Challenge for Armand
It’s not really a challenge but it sounds cooler in the title, right?
I’ve been contracted for not one… not two… but three! Count ’em, three! new stories to write. I can’t tell you the details and can’t really tell you much more (what a damn tease I am), but I can say they are going to be two 14,000 word and a 40,000 word novella.
Since my math skills are super-sharp (and there is a cute calculator feature on this laptop) it comes to 68,000 words in 28 days… which comes to 2,428 words a day to get everything written (first draft) and submitted on March 1st.
Wish me luck!
The downside to getting it is the back-burner status of all the other projects I was working on, like Dying Days 3, Dying Days: Origins, the next two stories in the Keyport Cthulhu series, and another hundred things.
But I’ll eventually get to them, and get in a few pages here and there when I have time.
Until then… don’t expect a ton of Mando on social media, since I need to really buckle down and write, write, write…
