26k words into my planned 20k ( :eyeroll: ) #SciFi manuscript "Project Xerxes". Almost done, but I'll probably hit 30k before it's finished. This prequel is softer than the rest of the series, with much lower stakes, but I hope readers will still enjoy this rich introduction to the #LostColonies universe.
