handful_ofdustWhile simultaneously waiting for my CZP editor's notes on A Rope of Thorns (the rewrite itself needs to be over by mid-January) and vaguely starting to plan out Chapter One of A Tree of Bones, I need to finish the first short story of the year, which also happens to have a January deadline attached. Thus:
"Lagan"
Words added: Roughly 900
Words total: 1,358
Needs to be: 4,000/5,000
Research: Supplies for long sea voyages; the Great Pacific Garbage Knot; East Timor; piracy. How big a salvage vessel needs to be, with how large a crew.
Got some good plot twists, a beginning and (amazingly) an ending. The rough shape is there, in other words--I even have head-casting for some of the characters. Now, to the grind!

Would you also like "The Ghost Ship," or have I already sent it to you?
