Progress Report 26

I seem to have neglected my progress reporting duties.  So this is a two chapter report.  In these chapters we have extreme cosmetic surgery, rustic casino decor, fun with Czech naming conventions, beautiful mountain scenery, plagues of robotic coffee makers, a teenage girl shopping for clothes, corporate marijuana training, and quite a bit of futuristic urban slang.  It is like Robert Anton Wilson made a love child with James Joyce and I overheard them talking about it in a post-apocalyptic fast food restaurant.  Don't worry, I bussed my own table, and only had one free refill.  The fries were disappointing, I think they sat under the heat lamp for too long.  Would it kill these radioactive troglodytes to cook some fresh fries?  Don't get me started on the kid's meal prize.  Where was I?  Oh, yes.  The chapters.  This novel is getting so fun to write.  Maybe I will make one of those annoying multi-volume cliff hanger things.  I am talking to you, Kevin J. Anderson!  Actually, I am quite looking forward to the upcoming prequel trilogy of Saga of the Seven Suns.

Want some stats?  Yes you do!

chapter 33 word count - 2953

new grand total - 82,290

I know I never did a report for chapter 32.  You will just have to wait for the novel to be published, purchase it, and count the words yourself.  Or you can use simple math.  I think we would both prefer, however, that you buy the book.
