Writing: Dylan and the Dream Pirates

[jasonandrew]

53,000 / 75,000 (70.7%)

I decided to change the name of the main villian to Cenotaph. I think it works much better than Talbot.

I suspect that this one is going to close out at 70,000 or so. I have three chapters left. Of course, I have a bunch of places where I put in a place holder tag so I could come back fill in more details later. I expect to hit the target on my second pass.

I've just started Chapter 13: Shooting Flamingos

DYLAN AND THE DREAM PIRATES 1
CHAPTER ONE: THE PROBLEMS WITH PIRATES 3
CHAPTER TWO: THE LOST BOYS 21
CHAPTER THREE: THIN SPOTS BETWEEN THE WORLDS 37
CHAPTER FOUR: THE LADY OF THE TEMPEST 57
CHAPTER FIVE: THE SECRET OF GRIMALKIN FORTUNATO 73
CHAPTER SIX: MUTANY ON THE TEMPEST 97
CHAPTER SEVEN: THE WORTHY 125
CHAPTER EIGHT: THE TOWER OF BONE 147
CHAPTER NINE: THE QUEEN OF CATS 165
CHAPTER TEN: OUROBOROS 182

CHAPTER THIRTEEN: SHOOTING FLAMINGOS 250
CHAPTER FOURTEEN: LOOKING GLASS 251
CHAPTER FIFTEEN: THE RIDERS OF THE STORM 252

I am looking forward to putting this bad boy to bed.

Woot for progress! We're pretty close to the same place, actually. My YA is a sci fi set in a big city. First draft is SOOO close to done.

Anyway, I loooove the name Cenotaph.
