And thus ended the second book...
Apr. 14th, 2009 10:14 amYES!! My draft is DONE!!!
It came in just over 80K, which is excellent, considering my first book's all time high was 121K (which I brought down to 100K). That means this one shouldn't be over 75K, maybe even less. (Of course--the writing in this initial draft is a lot tighter to start out with.)
Must draw up my revision plans...add in all those things I suddenly thought of at the end and reference without the original event there...do extra research to fact-check...take a close look at character arcs and plot threads and beginnings and endings..tighten up as much as I possibly can...
But for now, the sun is shining and I am done, and off to celebrate!
