A good day for escapism. I predict a lot of writing and reading in my future.
I'm getting started by re-reading the 42k words I did in March for Smooth Vengeance. So far...it's not bad. I've read worse, the action at the beginning works well, good characters. I'm trimming a bit while I read but not really editing so far. Once I'm done, I'll pick up where I left off with an eye towards powering in towards the ending.
It's interesting reading old work, it's almost like reading the work of a stranger. The odd thing about this book is how it started out with a strong, almost Noir voice but diverted into a more traditional 3rd person voice as it went on. I'll need to fix that in my second draft.
For now, 1k new words written, about three pages.
