Re: Elite : Reclamation (Novel)
Absolutely - many congratulations, Drew! And it's good to see Gollancz/Orion trailing along in your wake, too. So ... how many words so far? (That would be an interesting idea: a word-count tracker along the same lines as the Kickstarter money tracker ... not that there's any pressure, of course! Just remember to breathe now and then. )

Re: Elite : Reclamation (Novel)
I will be doing a word count track I think. Not difficult nowadays!
Cheers,
Drew.

Re: Elite : Reclamation (Novel)
I think LibreOffice shows the word count in the bottom bar at all times nowadays...
Although I don't think it such a useful information - word count tends to drop/increase upon rewrites and further drafts. The end result could be shorter or longer than the original version.

Mobius, on the frontier forum, has a created a rather natty backers image for your signature if you're so inclined. Feel free to link to this if you wish (plenty of bandwidth my end).

Re: Elite : Reclamation (Novel)
Nice location... almost makes me wish I had a writer's pack too!
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
