A Real Writing Update

mmerriamI wrote a lot yesterday. It was one of those days when you get in the flow and the words are coming fast and furious. I suspect I'll start to have more and more of these, what with being near the end of the WiP. This is typically how it happens with me: I start fast, slog through the middle, and finish at a blistering pace.
If it seems like I've been working on Rija's Tale for forever, well, I can understand. The first time I mention working on it in my LJ is 16 January 2007. Back then it was the Not A Milk Maid of Destiny novel, and I kept putting it away to work on other things. In that time period I finished two other novels and a double handful of short stories. Rija's Tale has, up until this year, been my back-up piece: something light to work on when the other stories aren't working.
Now it is my primary WiP, and I know exactly where we are going from here. The plan is to finish up in about three or four weeks, and then go back to Dark Water Blues, giving it a rewrite pass. I also have several pieces of short fiction wanting to be written. Now, I need to go work on some crits I've promised people, then I'm going to write more today.
