Book 1 rough draft complete.
So here are some old ass links for the history.

Anyway, after spending a few weeks doing chapter outlines back in March of 2010 I wrote a chapter and a half. It was about 2,000 words or so of the first book in my planned sci-fi/fantasy trilogy. Long story short, I got distracted with all my free time after getting let go from Dell after 8 years, Lich King came out, that ate up a good 6 months, then cata came out bla bla bla. I'm lazy.
November/December I get a call from an old friend asking if I wanted to get into the insurance business with him. Sure no problem, I get my licence etc and now I have my own office. Its easy once you get past all the lies people tell. Its not a demanding job, but it did get me out of the basement. Business is going good. Doesn't make a lot of money but enough to pay for itself so far.
So I dust off my little notebook of chapter outlines. It was work on that or watch netflix all day. Now that I had a real place to work. This is the result after 5 weeks. 74,500 words. 4 extra copies to hand out for editing.

Now comes the real work of edit, isbn, copyright, cover, edit, format, edit, page layout, edit, conversion bla bla bla.
