And… done!

Ding ding, done! 76k words. Probably more after beta reads. I know there’s got to be plenty that needs fluffing out to those who don’t know what’s going on, but I’m flagging this one for a time out. lol To think I imagined there was just one chapter to go… Ha!

It’s the first story I started and the 4th finished, and I’ve had enough by now. Time to work on L2 for Camp NaNo starting Monday. Making notes for that one now.

And I grabbed this sign from Dollarama to celebrate by officially designating my studio as the Lupercalia Town Limits!

Almost There!

The first book in the main Lupercalia series is almost done! I’m at 67k words, and one chapter left!

Between editing for clients and working to get this book done, I haven’t really thought to update things here. But I am working on it, I promise. Among the things to do are adding the newsletter sign up, and organizing what materials I can show to readers (character art, maps, etc), as well as world building materials for myself and my writing partner.

In any case, I just need to do that final chapter, then skim through again for anything I’ve missed before I send it to my beta reader. I write in a circular style*, so the bulk of the story has already been through a couple drafts, so it won’t be too much longer now. I just need to make sure the fall out from certain events is handled properly. While my beta reader looks it over, I’ll work on the basic outline for book 2.

Next on the docket: What the hell do I name this thing? I look through the top 100 songs of the year where this takes place didn’t really help. I’ll have to think on it a bit more.

*Circular writing goes by a couple names. Basically, you just keep writing until you can’t progress any more, then you circle back to revise what you already have and then keep going again until you get stuck. It works for me.
