the Final Two

I may have missed my deadline by a few days, but as of this morning, I’m officially on my final two chapters, just ahead of October and my NaNo Prep Month. I figure I’ll probably be able to finish the final two chapters and approximately 8,435-10,435 words within the week, which means I’ll have approximately three days before the first of October. I don’t know if I’ll necessarily be taking those three days to rest, before I start work on my big-picture outline for book two, or whether or not I’ll end up wanting to start writing ideas down the moment I finish with this current draft of my work-in-progress, but either way I’m becoming more and more excited for book two, and even more excited for NaNoWriMo, interspersed with editing my current draft during October and November. I hope to have my third draft complete by November first, and then the fourth draft should be done by January first (assuming I spend all of November writing and all of December working on the fourth draft). I’ll also be spending much of October working on a synopsis and query letter, as I hope to start sending out sometime in January-Feburary.
