NaNo Novel Proofreading and Editing

December has arrived. I wrote my 2017 NaNo novel in 12 days and then dropped it onto the dining room table and haven't looked at it since. I finished a novella, wrote a ghost story, worked on two other novels and planned my annual holiday story during the last 18 days of November. Now it's time to haul out the binder with The Clockmaker's Son and start working my way through it checking continuity, adding material to improve the story, editing, finding typos and grammar issues...all the little tweaks and twangs necessary to give it the proper polishing it needs as it is basically the bare bones story of a young man who was turned into a lycanthrope at age 14, then fled the country immediately after graduation to distance himself from the lycanthrope that turned him. He's made himself a name as a mechanical clock tower maker in Europe, but now his clockmaker father's health is failing and he's been summoned home. The lycanthrope has been active. Now, friends and family of the girl the young man has been attracted to since he was a teenager are being attacked and killed, forcing him to stay and protect her, and find a way to stop the man who threatens to destroy all he loves.
I've got a lot of work ahead of me, but the book should be ready for an early 2018 released date! (I'm an eternal optimist!)
