Just a quick note to say that my editing continues, much to the chagrin of Loving Wife. Heh, she thought my online gaming was bad, now she has me sitting at a computer editing away for hours.
So, the update:
15 chapters
125 pages
33,000 words
These middle chapters originally did not have one of the main three characters and are taking a little longer as I fit him back in, but I am one-third of the way through the book. I can also see my writing improving. It was right around this point that the writing picked up steam again and it is cleaner, less muddled. Let's hope the rest of this goes a little faster.
I have also been polishing my query and trying to win various writing contests advertised through Twitter (follow me @ DavHalt). The agent list is also being whittled down to the dozen or so likely candidates with a few 'first choice' folks who rep the same genre as me.
I will check back in with another update down the road! Back to the dungeon for more writing/editing.
Cheers.

Isn't it amazing the difference just a few short months can make? I noticed a huge difference between my early writing and later on. My second WIP even with next to no edits is so much better compared to the stuff I wrote in my early days. I love going back and going wow I wrote that? Keep up the good work, and persevere :)
