So the sequel to Tiger Lily is now titled "The Straw Doll Cries at Midnight" and is almost at 21,000 words. I see it takes me about a month and a half to write 10,000 words...about 250 words a day.

So I suppose the first draft should be done in.... another 9 months?

Shakes head.

That's no good. I'm going to have to get a bit more serious about my writing pace, I see.

Luckily I wrote like the dickens for the week in Tokyo Naoto was at work and the girls were in school.
