As you can see, I updated my word meter in my sidebar.
I’m now nearing the halfway point on Her Own Best Enemy’s second draft. Who hoo! I’m feeling good about that, but the finish line seems as if it is almost getting further and further away from me. I have a feeling I won’t make it to the end by May 31st, but I’m doing the best I can, so I refuse to get too down about not meeting that goal.
Once the second draft is complete, that will mean that the basic story structure is in place, and hopefully, I’ll make one more pass through the entire ms layering even more, and then one more pass for editing. But, by that time, I also hope to have some queries out to HQN and possibly even Berkley.
Now, if the muse would just see fit to enlighten me with the important plot details of my second half, the writing would go much quicker. No, instead, it’s enlightening me about stories that I’ve yet to tell…
Ah, well…another day, another word count…



Woo-Who on the progress. I’ve started charting my progress and forcing myself to be accountable of my goal. Have to have my story sent to my editor by May 31st. Here’s wishing us both the best of luck on meeting our goals.:whip:
