Not, obviously, a word count comparable to NaNoWriMo, but many of these words are much nearer a final draft, the clues are better worked out, the red herrings far more subtle, and in the process I've developed a final arc for the whole of the trilogy.
90K is my target - one which seemed impossible when halfway there - but a fattening of the characters, a realisation that description of place is not, if well done and applicable, a waste of the reader's time and awareness that I still have ten scenes still to write, makes it a far less daunting task.
No cover as yet - I am without Photoshop, my current version having just disappeared one day, but one possible starting place might be a print done for my first ever piece of fiction, 'The One That Got Away'.
