So I’m working on Assassin 2, while I wait to see what my agent thinks about my latest round of revisions on the first Assassin book. I had about 85,000 words on Assassin 2. But given the extensive revisions I did on the first Assassin book, I basically had to go in and throw almost everything away that I’d done on the second book.
Sigh.
I know both books are 100 percent better for the revisions, but still, losing that many words is painful. I’m making steady progress on the new, improved version of Assassin 2, though. I’m up to about 50,000 words right now. Of course, this is my first rough draft, so these are all pretty much craptastic words. But still, some progress has been made.
I’m hoping to write another 10,000 words this weekend. We’ll see how that goes — and how much my wrist hurts afterwards.
What about you guys? Anyone got big plans this weekend?
