Time flies when you're having fun. I've been busy with New Horizons today, and haven't had the opportunity yet to work on Thread of Evidence. I got a little bit done on it yesterday but not much. My totals for today - Three day total - 6832 words. One day total - 2354 words. According to the statistics, I will have the 50K challenge won by November 22. It's a good date to aim for. This is to let you know you are not forgotten as I work on my craft. It's late in the day, and I still want to work on Thread of Evidence. I don't know how much I'll do, as I need to get away from the computer for a little while. I scanned the map into the computer, but it will need to be done over. We hoped it wouldn't need to, but as my son took it off his drafting table, the paper tore and it shows up in the scan despite taping it. I did get the cities on it today, but even that will need to be redone as I relocated a couple of cities when I saw how heavily populated one side of the island was to the other. Otherwise, it's looking good. That's what I've done today. I'm sorry I wasn't here, but I expected as much this being November. I don't know what I'm going to accomplish tomorrow. There's church in the morning, and no, I'm not skipping church. I'm picking up a friend for church whose car is temporarily out of commission, and she's taking me to lunch tomorrow. Then there's the Packers game tomorrow night against the Patriots, and I won't be working on anything during the game. Being a late game, I won't be in the pool on Monday morning, unless I wake up in time to go. Those are my weekend plans and my third day totals. I hope everyone is having a good weekend. Thanks for reading. Image is the map.

@thislittlepennyearns You're doing amazingly well. Keep up the good work. You'll be a winner in another week at your pace.

Looks like the book will be finished long before the month ends if you keep it up.

What a shame about the map, removing the marks of the tape is easy, I hope your son can do this for you. If you need help let me know.

@just4him Drawings always take more time than we plan in the beginning.

He can do it. Though I need to have some things changed since he needs to do it over. Since I figured out how to add the cities through Paint, I don't need the tracing paper and the map should be more vivid than it is there.

I've done it several times now, so I'm confident I'll accomplish it again.

Doing 2354 words in a day is not an easy task especially when you have to get the wording right. Thats a job well done

I'm not as concerned with getting the wording right, as I am getting the story down. I can get everything sorted out when it comes time to edit. That won't be for a while. Thank you.

Just work on your book. That is more important right now.

Both books are coming along. Thread of Evidence isn't getting as much work done on it as New Horizons, but I am confident both will be finished on time.
