Drafted

Great news! I finished the draft of the first book in my new series yesterday. I was right, the characters led me to a satisfactory conclusion and I set the stage for the next book. I’ll let it sit in the virtual drawer until I have the second book in the series complete, which might be summertime. That way if there are directional changes in the series as a whole, I can go back and edit the first book to conform. For those of you counting along at home, I have three books in various stages of completion. One, Assignment Day, is ready to publish once I get the funding. The second, the sequel to First, is done and needs several rounds of editing. I started doing that this morning and I have to say it’s not in as bad of shape as I thought. And, of course, the third is the draft I finished yesterday. Of the seven goals I set for 2025, completing this draft means I can mark off one of them and we’re barely halfway through the second month of the year. Lots of writing and editing going on around here and at some point it’s going to be publishing time. Looking forward to it.
