Two more chapters today, have just stopped for dinner, and am going back to do some more.

And to that we can add four more chapters, which were five before this pass. That puts me two-thirds of the way through, and I think almost all that's left of this pass is significantly easier.
The Deposed King:
Couldn't stay focused on Admiral's Lady today so I popped on over and worked on my Falon Rankin series.
I went from 15k to 17k on The Painting. Mostly in the form of revised and extended what I've already written but hey new words are new words.

I've considered starting on one of my other series' to give myself ocassional breaks from Lady Raven.
How do you find it, writing multiple books at once?

I tend to focus in on one book exclusively. I have found that if you are getting burned on one book and producing low word count, that switching to another book/series with the idea that your word count is suffering in the first series due to lack of inspiration, will often spur me on. Et I write a bit in the other series and either find out I am really inspired to write in the second series or more likely that my lack of 'inspiration' is not series specific and I need to give myself a kick in the pants.
But I will say that there's only so many books in the same series before you are legitimately burned. I wrote the Falon books because I needed a break from the Admiral. So I wrote book 1 and the prequel and then switched back to the Admiral and cranked out book 5.
My main point I guess is that whatever series I'm focusing on I drill down until the book is completed. Then I either write the next one or fish around for a bit and settle on my next book (in whatever series). I don't tend to write more than one book simultaneously.
Sorry if I rambled too much.
