(So yeah. Finished #PrinceOfIce. Moving on to #TheSwordInTheSand. Like this post says, already at 8,214 words. I started last night. 8 hours. Don't know if I'm calling it done as a short story, or if I'm going full novella or not. #SkyWriters #BookSky #Authors)

Moving on to my next project, #TheSwordInTheSand. Already at 8,214 words (in 8 hours). #BookSky #Authors #Fantasy #SkyWriters
