I've nearly finished "DSS Vimana," or whatever it is I'm going to call this project.

I'm over 60K words now, probably going to have about 62K total in this first draft. It's been coming in fits and starts of late since I've been battling severe emotional exhaustion and depression/anxiety that won't go away. Over the last few days I've managed to scrounge enough energy and motivation that I think I can just manage to finish the book by the end of this weekend.

Considering I actually started writing this book back in March based very loosely on concepts I've been kicking around since the later half of 2012, and it'll be the second novel I'll have finished this year, that's pretty damned good. I've more than earned a break; a project like this used to take me about two years to complete. I can only hope that working at such a grueling pace will produce something of good quality that my readers will actually enjoy.

I'll probably be taking the rest of my summer to get out a little, or at least get some cleaning done around the apartment.
