Done... With That Anyway
Last night, I finished the first draft of Natural Causes (Dennis Haggarty #2). It weighs in at just under 60K words.
I started this book in May of 2015 and then stalled amidst the whirlwind of trying to get Wish in One Hand published. So, I started back into it last month with around 14K words and went from there. Between October 16th and November 27th, I did about 46K.
Not quite up to the speed of NaNoWriMo, but since this is the first time I've written anything new with any real commitment since godonlyknowswhen, I'll take it.
As I told someone earlier today, this is an ugly SOB. If you read it now, you'd want to take a baseball bat to me. Things happen at the beginning that make no sense by the end. Things happen at the end that I need to weave through the previous pages. It's pretty awful. But I dropped notes for myself in the story so I'd remember to fix some things here and there. And hey, that's what editing is for, right?
Still don't have a firm timeline for the release of this. Or even if this will be released next. :shrug:
But it's done. And that's the important part. You can't fix what ain't written.
How's your work going for you?
