Word count, Volume 3:  3006

News:  Volume 2 is out, weekly update is back!  Thanks to All Who Bought Echo!  And BIG THANKS to Melissa, Barbara, Ian, Lorna, [anonymous], Lisa, and Meg for posting AMAZING reviews on Amazon!!!  And Ashley as well for the 5 star on Nook!

As you can see, work has begun on Volume 3.  To be honest, volume 2 was one hell of a mind wrangler.  Putting pacing in Atriya’s action filled day as well as trying to make sure that the events held thematic significance was pretty tough, but I think I pulled it off.  How many freakin’ and meaningful ways can you say a dude died????   Anyways, it’s over and done now.  The takeaway from that was while I like writing action, I REALLY like writing a balanced mix of stuff.  Dialogue, thoughts, description….and I like a good explosion and face-punch, so that’s saying something.  Anyways, back to work!  To all you writers, I wish you inspired drafting and insightful editing!
