Facing Fearful Odds -- Book 1: Earth (10 chapters planned)
Chapter 1 is 100% and UNDERGOING OMEGA EDIT. (11,131 words)
Chapter 2 is 100% and UNDERGOING OMEGA EDIT (15,375 words)
Chapter 3 is 100% and in GOLD BETA. (7,392 words)
Total Project Status as of 10/1/2009: Book 1 is 56% done, with a little over four chapters remaining. (106,859 words) (+ 34,829)
COMMENTS: September was the most productive month yet for Facing Fearful Odds. I finally finished Chapter 5, and now I'm on the road to complete Chapter 6 within the week. By the end of October I should hopefully have Chapters 7 and 8 done as well *crosses fingers*. I also split 6-A into two parts because a 20,000+ word update is a lot to ask people to read.
As I'm nearing the end of Book 1, I'm beginning to get a sense of the hidden themes in the story I've written ("Loss of identity") verses the themes I started off intending to write ("Optimism as a moral choice"). After finishing Book 1's rough draft, I'm going to have to go back to the beginning and develop that hidden theme so it's more concrete in the finished product.
So the way to Book 1's finale looks clear and I'm trucking along. The end is in sight! Rejoice!
