It’s writing time again.

By Mike Jastrzebski

We’ve been in the mooring field here in St. Augustine for a little over three weeks and we’ve fallen into a routine that allows me to write on the days Mary works (3 days a week), and the day she does laundry. So far, I have finished about a third of the third draft of Stranded Naked Blues.

The other three days are spent shopping, doing regular maintenance on the boat, and taking care of my dental appointments. We’ve also managed to go to the cruiser’s net gatherings and do a little sightseeing on our own.

I think that with this four day writing schedule I should be able to complete the book by the first of the year. all of my books have gone through five to seven drafts before I published the books and I expect this book to follow that pattern.

After I finish this draft I will read the book out loud and revise as I read. After that Mary will do a line edit and if she finds any discrepancies or areas that don’t quite work for her I will fix the problems and then hopefully the book will be ready to publish.

Wish me luck.
