Current Count 4 + Bonus Update!
Okay... I'm buggered. lol.
Unfortunately, I'm still not quite finished the final proof read... and everytime I think I get close, something comes up or I have to change a lot of previously written stuff... damn plot holes.
Anyways, so I've been going through the book from top to bottom. I'm now completely finished the first two acts. They're done and dusted and sitting idly by waiting for the third act to get its act together (pardon the pun). So at the moment, I'm going through an important section where a bunch of stuff is realised by two of the main characters. This particular area is complicated and lots of little ends are tied together to become one stream of realisation. And in the next few paragraphs, all shit begins to break lose until the last page.
I'm currently getting some quotes for preliminary printing. A few copies will be distributed to specific people for analysis, etc.
The biggest thing - I believe, at the moment - is that there's going to be some name changes to the books. While the overall title will continue to be "Beneath A Broken Sky"... the subtitles Ante Finis, Ad Fundum, and Lux et Veritas... will be adjusted. Actually, probably just Ante Finis. Ad Fundum (To The End) will remain, as will Lux et Veritas (Light and Truth). I'm still figuring out what the title will be changed to, but at the moment, I'm just not getting the vibe from Ante Finis anymore.
So at the moment, as of August 8, 2007 Book 2 of the "Beneath A Broken Sky" trilogy has...
451 pages
226,286 words
1,064,234 characters (no spaces)
7,404 paragraphs
21,446 lines
*Deep sigh*... this is tougher than I ever thought it was going to be.
But still, I'm getting closer. If I don't have this finished by the end of the year, I'm going to be severely annoyed... I'm getting too excited about starting Book 3.
There's lots of cool stuff yet to come. Stay tuned...
