LP: 52,609

52,609 words in LP project.  I've finished the old J of K draft, so now it's all fresh writing.  The plan is to continue and the J of K story until around 80,000 words.  Then I'll go back and write more of the Spirit Jar story, and then I'll take out some introductory  material that no longer fits.  I've got an overall plot line that ties together the Spirit Jar and J of K -- enough of a connection to make sense as a novel.  So by the end of summer I'll have a draft of LP done.  The next step will be taking J of K and separating it out and finishing it as its own novel.  Then I'll do the same with the Spirit Jar.  So that's three novels.  But really, finishing LP will be the accomplishment of the summer.  My first novel.
