It's 3am... (Blackjack Fugitive Update #3)

And I just wrote the 180th page of the manuscript. I'd say it's closer to 200 with all the missing junk I have to add. I'm closing in on the 2nd act finale, which is pretty kickass. I've never had an action sequence as elaborate as what I'm planning.

I've put together a whole month of writing at a Stephen King-like pace, and it feels good. It also helps that the story is sort of telling itself. I finish a scene with the next one ready to go, and it's just a few more Red Bulls/Cuban coffees that keep me from going to sleep. As my head hits the pillow, I get more ideas, and I have to force myself to sleep.

And this is happening as we're putting the finishing touches on the other project that's consumed me the last year, Interstellar Overdrive. Not going to sell it here at all, and I only mention it so you know why Blackjack 3 isn't an April/May release like 1 and 2. Anyway, I'm just doing spot edits on IO so I can dedicate myself to this.

I can't guarantee I'll keep the pace, though I will as long as I can remain semi-functional the next day. This is what happened with book one, I went into vampire mode. There's also something about March and April...this time of year is very productive for me. 

Anyway, if it sounds like I'm rambling, don't worry, I am. I need my bed. But the book is breezing by, faster than I had ever expected, and I'm hoping to bring it to you as fast as possible...then right onto book 4.
