I could tell you the title, but that would be bad luck.

It's been five months since I decided to start this book, and four months since I finished the first draft.
It's been three months since I started the second draft. I'm giving myself four more to finish it. Factor in holidays, moving out of my apartment, Christmas shopping, and miscellaneous time-stealing things, and that leaves three months.
After that, I'm going to give it to a handful of folks who will hopefully provide insightful criticism that will aid in the third draft. I may take a month off and catch up on my reading.
Although I've been dissecting various parts of the book as I'm working on D2, last weekend I tried to sew most of it back together and see it as a whole again. Here's what I've got so far:
Most recent word count: 52,512
Pages: 301
Current songs in my iTunes novel mix (special songs I listen to whilst writing): 36
Current songs in my iTunes writing mixes (songs that block out noise of public places but don't distract me): 131
People who have requested autographed copies of the book: at least 23, give or take a few
This has been your random unsolicited novel update.
Enjoy your day.
