So I finished the first draft of my novel at 6:27 this morning, topping out at a bit over 82K words. All told it took me about 4 months to write. Now I'm going to get it to my beta reader (AKA my wife) and make some edits, hopefully finishing everything in time to get it up for sale by Christmas.
After that, I'm planning to begin work on another novel immediately. I'm coming up on 11 months self-publishing and I've learned a lot from monkeying around with shorter works this year. By Christmas 2012, however, I hope to have a total of four novels completed. In other words, I'd like to write three more novels in 13 months, which should be doable given my performance on the first one. I have one largely plotted out entirely, another roughly sketched out, and the third is still percolating a bit.
I saw a Kindle Fire at Target yesterday; although it looks kind of plain, I have to admit that it is pretty F'ing cool. My son, of course, recognized it as yet another way to play Angry Birds, so I might skip buying it altogether since I'd never get to use it while he's around.
