Managed to get around 7,000 words down this month which is a bit down on last month but, regardless, is progress.

It still leaves me on track in terms of overall length but, I’ll admit, I’m going to need to get my skates on to meet the December 2026 deadline (self imposed) to get draft one of Descent: Deceit in the can and Descent: Diaspora in my publisher’s claws (or tentacles, I’m not sure which applies, the entity’s not known for it’s photoshoots).
I’m expecting December through February to be reasonably productive, all of which will be brought to a screeching (but welcome) halt as prepublication round-robin for Descent: Death kicks in.
