Word Count for Vol. 2:  74,371

News:  Big thanks to all who bought Echo!  And HUGE thanks to Melissa, Barbara, Ian, Lorna, Lisa, Meg, [anonymous], and now Ashley M. for leaving me great reviews!  Thank you!!!!!

Happy New Year’s everybody!  On top of that, I wish everybody a fantastic Force Awakens and a belated Batman V. Superman!  To accommodate an increased writing tempo, I will be doing FB/Wordpress Mon/Wed/Fri, and Twitter on Tue/Thu.

I’m fleshing out the last act of Vol. 2.  Just to give you an inkling of what it is, it’s basically one long hellish day for Atriya.  With the first volume, I know there were some complaints about the length/cliffhanger ending, now I’m worried there will be complaints about the amount of action and the one-day timeline.  Nyaagh!  The vast majority of the action has underlying significance, but it is still action, and I hope that doesn’t get tiring to the reader.

There are tons of spiritual motifs and references in vol. 2, but only a few overt ones.  That stuff will come on very heavy in Vol. 3 when he gets to…just kidding!  No spoilers, haha!  Anyways, I’m gonna get back to work.  To all you writers, I wish you inspired drafting and insightful editing!
