Continuing to plug away at Darkstone. I'll hit 75,000 words tonight. Probably 15,000 more to go and the Quartet is drafted. UPDATE: Finished it night of 3/25. 86,000 words.

I can't wait any more on my S-l-o-w Warrior Mage reader. I'll be designing the interior as soon as my draft above is done.

Then I get to revise what is, basically a 400,000 word manuscript... ouch!
