I’ve now officially rolled over the 25000 words mark with Riley 7, which means I’m over a quarter of the way through the book. I’ve written over 35 pages in five days, and the muse seems to be having a jolly old time. I think its amused by the fact it no longer has to worry about where the scene is going, and what comes next; it just has to write.
Of course, that doesn’t mean changes haven’t happened. There was one scene in the plot that called for a fist fight between Kye and Riley, but when I came to it, it didn’t actually fit the situation. So, it became a sort-of hackles raised stand-off, with a threat or two thrown in towards the end. It works much better. I’ve just finished a dinner scene with Quinn and Riley, where we learn a little bit more about everyone’s favourite vampire, but that’ll probably be it for a couple of days. Pete turned fifty this week, so we’re having a big old party to celebrate (or commiserate 
) on Saturday. So, lots of running around and cooking to be done by me.

The muse must be kicking it in high gear. Good to hear that and way to go! It reals helps the muse, when she knows where she is supposed to go. My muses tend to be bad at navigation and so far giving them maps helps. It takes an hour or s to get them moving, but it happens.
