Three more story chapters...

I'm done with my grading, as of yesterday.  I don't pick up the third set of papers from my 102 class until Monday (tomorrow's workshop--they trade papers, and go through a set of questions to help them make sure that their peers are staying within the guidelines I set).

I finished another story chapter (and discovered that another old goddess wanted in on things).  It added about a thousand words to the last count--up to 58,500, now.  And now, I have three more stories to write, then vignettes to add throughout to give a picture of how the main six are getting on in the trip they're on.  And then, I'm done.  So, DaddyBear and TinCan Assassin can look for Highway to Tartarus end up in their email inbox for beta reading by mid-October.  Definitely. 

With a bit of luck, I will be able to get this published by the end of this year, and focus on writing the sequel to Pendragon over Christmas Break (our last day of fall semester is Dec 6; the first day of spring semester is Jan 13--just enough time to get enough of a start to be able to finish it and get it out by May or June). 

After that, I've got another in the Modern Gods series to write (this one will be more for the gals, since it's going to feature a lot of romance and romantic comedy), as well as a few stand-alone books to choose from.
