Well, well, well…I got derailed again. But not for any life drama or roll—but a book. A book on a run away train. More like a stampeding herd of Mustangs, really.

Short answer—length. I was hired to write a 100K Shadowrun novel. And due to ups and downs behind the scenes, when I got back to it, I discovered it was 45,000 words OVER that. Yikes! And I’ve been battling this monstrocity ever since. I’ve managed to pare it down some—but then a beta reader read it and commented it was missing a few things.

Crap. Those things I took out. So… I’m now furtively fixing things back the way they were so I can just turn it in and be done. And NaNo? Oh… I still plan on at least getting 50k finished before the deadline. I just have to get this monster out of my house!
