Camp Nano - Day 23
Today's word count: 2,599 (though my word document actually says 2,600!)
Well, I'm getting ever closer to the end of my book! and for some reason the word count seems to be increasing more slowly....though I know that's just my imagination. I'm still writing over 2,500 words a day - have never gone below that in the last 23 days!
The other day I figured out what happens at the end of the book. How it all comes together. Thank goodness! And I don't have all that many more words to do it in but I think it will be a perfect amount. I may have to write slightly over 80k but we'll see.
In a strangely bizarre coincidence, I received an email today...from someone with the same name as my antagonist! And here I was thinking my antagonist's name was different, unique, and steampunk-y. So I want to just apologize in advance to Gideon of Steampunkkindle.com for my antagonist having the same name as him! LOL. I named my villain Gideon after an ancestor of mine, on my Grandma's side, I think. It sounded steampunk-esque.
I got this email from Steampunkkindle.com, and the owner Gideon, asking if I could promote a free ebook give away he is hosting on his site at the moment. And imagine my shock and surprise when I saw his name at the bottom of the email - the same name I had been writing over and over again the last few days, when I've been telling my antagonists backstory (and not using the pseudonym he's been going by since the beginning of the book)!! Weirdly strange name coincidences have been happening to me lately with regards to my characters. If I come across the name Eldon (that's the Emperor's first name) anywhere in the next few days, I'm going to freak out! lol
So, as it's steampunk, and I'm writing a steampunk novel, I promised to mention Steampunkkindle.com's little blurb in my blog. Here it is:
SteampunkKindle.com, a reviewer of Steampunk eBooks & Accessories for the Amazon Kindle eReader, is giving away some free copies of the new book "The Atomic Weight of Secrets or The Arrival of the Mysterious Men in Black" [Kindle Edition] by Eden Unger Bowditch- (part one of The Young Inventors Guild series). Young and young-at-heart readers have compared this Steampunk tale to Harry Potter's adventures at Hogwarts... with a dash of clockwork invention thrown in! No purchase is necessary to enter, and promotion details along with more synopsis of the book can be found at this webpage:
