I wrote the first chapter on the new novel last night.
At the moment, I am writing without an outline. I haven't done that since No Small Bills. We'll see how long I last before I break down and build one, but for now it's fun. 💙📚

Done! Yesterday I typed "The End" to The Dry-Dock Deduction, my Sherlock Holmes novel. This will be part of Christopher D Abbott's ( @cdanabbott.bsky.social ) Watson Chronicles, which he generously invited me into. I'll read it over this week, run it by my beta readers, and then send it in.

Printing presses kept their letters in cases.
Capital letters went in the upper case.
Smaller letters went in the lower case.
This is why we say ‘UPPER CASE’ and ‘lower case.’
Ok, but what did we call them before the invention of the printing press?
MAJUSCULE and minuscule.

After dinner and spending time with @jendaby.bsky.social I cleaned up the book interior, roughed out the cover, and set up a book page for it. Also took the dog out for a nice walk--it was gorgeous out! Not a whole lot else but hey, it's Friday!

The novel is at around 92k now, with two, maybe three chapters left--the one tonight is the big climax, which could wind up splitting in two but I won't know until I write it. Then just the resolution and that'll be another book in the can. Woo-hoo! 💙📚 #AuthorLife #WritingUpdate #AmWriting

Last night I sat down at my computer as usual, opened my files, looked up a few locations and some other details, and got ready to write the next chapter.
By the time I sat back to catch my breath, I'd written over four thousand words.
So, yeah, I think we can safely say that chapter's done. 🙂
