It’s incredible how much you can accomplish when you cut down on distractions.  By just preventing myself from going to Facebook, or following my slew of RSS Feeds, I’ve managed to churn out 5 – Five! – chapters in a little over a week.

So that you understand the significance of that, I had only six complete chapters to show after six years of working on this project.  That’s a chapter a year, although honestly the vast majority of that was written this year.

Anyway, things are really coming along.  I’ve actually “reconfigured” the first six chapters, changing the setting to circumvent a rather troublesome situation that disrupted the story’s pacing and flow.  When I consider how much re-writing I’ve done on Poguri and the Land of Nou, I realize that I’ve probably written enough to fill ten novels.  And that’s fine, because once it’s all said and done, the final product will reflect all the hard work I’ve put into it.

Now it’s time to stop distracting myself with blog writing and to get back to story writing!
