Still Roaring

4125 words for this week. I've been doing 3000/week for years, so I'll have to wait and see if I can keep this pace up. That puts To Drive the Cold Winter Away at ~10,000 words currently, and we're about halfway through the outline, so it's looking like more of a 20,000 word story. But I anticipate fleshing some things out in editing, so it might end up substantially longer. It may end up being a standalone novel yet.

Plotwise, our heroes have reached Kent and started their research into the long-ago murder that's propelling the current duel. But they're on a tight deadline: both the would-be duelliests are anxious to meet and get it over with. A lot of the comedy in the story is our heroes figuring ways to keep them apart.
