Starbreaker! I've been wondering if you'd find the door of the new location of the Midnight! It's been a while -- glad to see Smudge around as well. Looks like Snickers' got company. Wait, you've literally written a 60k word novel since the last time we spoke? Now I really need to reconsider what I'm doing with my free time! You, sir, are very productive. White Lady on the house, you've earned it. Can't wait to read what you've created!
Man, I needed that. Thanks. (leaves a tip covering the cost of the drink)
Yes, it has indeed been a while. Or at least a few months. I recall seeing Smudge chase Snickers around the bar before; Snickers is one of the other patrons' dogs, right?
Yeah, I'm 60,000 words into a new novel. I probably have another 60,000 to go before the draft's done, though, but if I can keep doing 1,500-2,000 words a night it will only take a couple of months.
Don't be too quick to reconsider the way you spend your leisure time; many people would insist that I'm wasting my time since it is unlikely that I will get to publish via traditional channels or sell many copies of I go indie.
Still, it's kind of you to say you'd like to read it. I suppose I could share an excerpt. I was also thinking of making web novels out of a couple of older novels of mine that are now out of print now that the rights to both have reverted to me, but I'll be discreet about mentioning them here since the other patrons aren't here for a hard sell.
