Done!

Yes, the second draft of The Tale of the Drakanox is finished.

I say this knowing a few extra sentences and details will pop into my mind over the next day or two. Basically, though, it is done. The length is down from 137K or so to 135K. A couple of dangling plot threads have been tied up. There’s a nice concluding statement.

Well done, me.

It’s Friday as I write this. I’m proud of myself for finishing the job before the end of spring break. Today we’ll be heading off for a family visit. Then on Saturday there’s a weather break that’s perfect for doing some yard cleanup. One more day, and it’s back to work for me.

I’ll focus for a while on Queen Titania’s Court and other things. Then I’ll give it one more strict pass to clean up typos and I’ll be on track for a November publication. Unless I decide to do a second compilation volume first… No, no. Don’t over-think it! I should just take this moment to enjoy the accomplishment.

Cheers!
