TRILOGY: ACHIEVED


Last night, I finished the very first, very rough draft of The Name of the Blade Book #3. I got my characters where they needed to go. I thought of a final line. I typed THE END.

That means, in essence, that my trilogy is finished.

Yes, it needs to go undergo the usual revisions. It'll get printed out and go in a drawer for two weeks, and then I'll re-read and revise it, and then I'll send it to my editor and agent. And then I'll work on it with my editor for probably between four and eight months.

But.

But.

I typed THE END.


I committed the final scenes - the scenes that I've been planning since 2010 - to paper. It's all there now. It'll get chopped and changed and polished and proofread, but it is there.

253,978 words in total. 704 pages combined. Seven notebooks. Four years of my life.



You guys. I did it. It's DONE.

*Lies on floor, staring at ceiling*

What now?

Paul Finch I'm think how it works is you're now pretty much beholden to immediately begin work on your 7 book Song of Ice and Fire/ Wheel of Time style magnum opus.
