Have a look at The Source Emerald
Second draft of the new novel-in-progress: done. New working title: The Source Emerald.
The rough draft weighed in at 67,515 words. Even after cutting some of the final chapter, the second draft finished at 70,294 words. A lot of those extra 2,779 words consisted of me saying, "Huh? What did I mean by that?" and then going in to make it clearer. The whole thing is better now.
I think.
And how does one celebrate the completion of a second draft?
Why, by starting the third draft, of course.
A lot of this starts with a giant emerald. Although I can't put photos here, you can see an example of the Bahia Emerald in my blog.
The Bahia Emerald of Brazil is believed to be the largest single shard ever found. It weighed about 752 pounds, and has been valued at about $400,000,000.
It was necessary to shrink the emerald in my book down to thirty-two pounds, but it was once much larger, and still resembles this one. And that, Mr. NSA guy, is why I've been researching gems so much lately.
