Drafts and Drafts. Resurrected Post.
I celebrated yesterday with MBW and the HA. You know why? Of course you don���t. So I���ll tell you: Saturday, May the Fifth, I completed the first draft of Chale Thorson Book One: The Jade Dagger. (What do you think about the series title? I���m still considering it.)
We celebrated at a brewpub. And in honor of the Battle of Puebla, my first beer was a Mexican-style lager. (Pretty good, too: El Guapo. I declined to imitate the Three Amigos, you���ll be glad to learn.)
It feels good to complete the first draft, an almost physical relief. So now I���ll set The Jade Dagger aside, clear my mind of it before returning for the second draft. It is time to switch mental gears. I need to conceive of two sequels to Boss and get to outlining. I also need to invent a series title for these books as well.
So the celebration and relief is, as ever, short-lived.
The results are worth it to me, though. Creating something new and seeing it released into the market is very satisfying. And I hope you get some satisfaction as well. I mean, I experience a certain reward from writing these books but I���m not intended as the entirety of the audience. I���m writing them to be read. So I hope you enjoy reading them at least as much as I enjoy writing them.
Tomorrow then, back down into the word mines.
