I thought I would be completed with my manuscript by now. My first self-imposed deadline was December 31. Then January 31. Now it's February 9 and I'm still not finished. But almost.
If everything goes as planned, I'll send the novel-to-be off to my editor this weekend.
Despite slashing paragraphs, sentences, and words, the manuscript has grown to 93.5K words. Perhaps I can whittle away some when I go over it one more time.
As I do with every draft, I wrote down the problem areas that need to be addressed. I even highlighted the passages in red as well as the page numbers so I won't have to spend an inordinate amount of time finding them.
I am closer to a title. Actually, I have three possibilities. I consider that progress as well as I've been stumped on coming up with those important words to reflect the story as well as entice the reader.
That's it for now.
Until the next time. . .
