Broke the 7,000 word mark on A Time For Dying, which suggests the concept might be one larger than a short story. I could be wrong about that, however; the coming weeks will reveal more. If the manuscript reaches 15,000 words, and feels like the characters want more, then perhaps it is the stuff of a book. Ultimately, I’ll let the story dictate the form.

Could see working on this while implementing The Eight’s recommendations to the novel, so at worst, it’s a nice side project. Some distractions are good.
