Today I Finished Writing a Book … Not Really

Today I could’ve written THE END, if I ever write THE END at the end of my books.  If I write those two awesome words, I could’ve written them today, at the end of Crimson Hall Ghost House, book #2 in the Four Families Series, the follow up to Gold Manor Ghost House.

I finished the story!  I love it!  I can’t wait to share it!

What?  You want to read it?  Are you cra-cra?

I finished the story, but … skipped that one chapter, because I was buzzing along and I figured out I should’ve already written that chapter and I was too deep into another scene to drop it and return.

Then I realized I needed to add _______.  I need to clean up _______.  And then there’s my work of general story housekeeping and editing.

Then I’ll be done, again!

But I won’t be.

It will go to Jennifer, hopefully.

She will work her magic and give it back.

It will go to Stephanie, yes?

She will give it her love and send it back.

It will go to Lisa, right?

She will rid it of the remaining visceral twitches and give it back.

It will go back to Jennifer (and maybe her sister Stephanie?), fingers crossed.

99% (dare I hope for 100% ?) of all typos will be bled out of Crimson Hall Ghost House and she will give it back.

Story in shape, the formatting and wrestling with computer layouts promising one thing and delivering another commences, until, at the end… a book is ready to be read.

So, in about two (optimistically) to three (realistically) months you’ll hear me say, again, this time without caveat, today I finished writing a book!
