First Draft Complete

*Trumpets and Fanfare*
I am pleased to announce that the first draft of the Isle of Wysteria sequel is complete.

YAY!

8 months of work, whew. The crazy part is that there is a lot left to do. Tomorrow I begin editing, and then once I have it as polished as I can make it, then I turn it over to the editors, who then go over it with a fine-toothed comb as we strive to make this as mistake-free as possible. Because, like the picture says, if you make a grammar mistake, everyone looses their minds.

So, I have basically climbed to the peak of one mountain, only to find another mountain beyond it, but that is okay. Creating a book is exciting, and I am happy to have the opportunity to do it. Creating something and taking an idea and making it real is beyond rewarding in a way that is hard to describe.

Also on my to-do list is getting the cover art and internal artwork created, which isn't cheap but I think it is really important to have good quality artwork as it is the first thing people see.
