I just wrote 3500 words on the sequel to The Witches of Dark Root. I'm officially (or unofficially) at the 1/3 mark through the first draft. Going to do my best to push through and finish this draft by the end of November. I'd love to be able to take a few weeks off writing in December and just let it sit before beginning the daunting process of the second draft, where I try and fix the mistakes of the first. But that's a ways off.
I'm really looking forward to this book being done. There's a lot more magic in here and Maggie wrestles with the age old human dilemma of figuring out 'what this all means'. I hope I can pull it off.
