I spent some time hanging out with the Treehouse Writers at the Linde Lane Tea Room in Dixon, California, then holed up in a hotel in downtown Davis, hanging out in bookstores and coffeehouses in an attempt to make some progress on SPIRITUAL GOLD. The actual day of the drive was a wash, but after that, I managed to get more than two days worth of words done in each day, and almost that today.<\/p>\n<p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/dakotafrost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Camp-Nano-2017-07-24-b.png\" width=\"480\" height=\"381\" alt=\"Camp Nano 2017-07-24-b.png\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Now at last I&#8217;m ahead of the curve, and if I can stay there for a few more days, I&#8217;ll win Camp Nano. More importantly, however, I&#8217;ve marched forward in the manuscript so I&#8217;m around Chapter 37 out of roughly 50, with much of the text of the remainder partially written and merely needing some ironing out. With luck, I&#8217;ll finish SPIRITUAL GOLD at the end of the month, and shortly thereafter, and then can begin editing Dakota Frosts #4-#6 together as one big trilogy.<\/p>\n<p>Onward!<\/p>\n<p>-the Centaur<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, we&#8217;re getting ahead of the curve at last on SPIRITUAL GOLD &#8230; two days ahead.
