The First Draft Of The Third Attempt At A Fourth Moon Book Is Now Finished!

It would have been finished a lot sooner if I hadn't added another 60 or so pages. On the other hand, those 60 or so pages got the page count to 295 and made the book a whole lot better. At least, I think so.

This version of The Shade Of The Moon has (among other things) riots and arson and killings and kidnappings and romance. What it doesn't have is enough description, because I hate writing description, but I know I need to put some in, so I will. I promise. I'll use as an incentive getting the book to 300 pages (such a respectable number), although there's at least one scene that I know needs a good deal of trimming, and I'm not sure I have more than 5 pages of description in me (frankly, I'm not sure I have 1 page of description in me, but I suppose I gotta).

In celebration of the completion of the first draft, leaving me time to have more lunches with more friends, and go clothes shopping, and see a movie, and plant my impatiens for the deer to eat, I've selected almost at random 2 pages to print and scan and show you.

I hope you like them. I also hope you don't mind the complete lack of description!
