It’s getting closer… :)
Chapter 13 of Encounters is done. I’ve just got three more to go until it’s finished. This chapter was awesome to write because I came up with some really great stuff that I can’t really talk about without giving away a lot of spoilers. There’s a lot of new revelations and other cool stuff in this one, and I’m really excited that it won’t be too awful much longer before it’s done. If I maintain my chapter a day schedule, it’ll be done by Monday and I can get to work on the proofreading and editing, which means that it should be ready to publish by the end of next week.
The first draft of Encounters is now complete!
I just finished the first draft of book 10 of the series, Encounters. Tonight I’ll start the editing process, and I should have the book published by the end of the week. It’s always a sad moment for me when I reach the end of a book, and I often get a little teary. It’s an emotional thing when you come to the end of something you’ve put so much of yourself into.
Once I get this one published, I’m going to get the cover designed for the next one and get started on it. I haven’t decided on the title yet, but by the time I finish the editing I’ll have the title and I’ll announce it at the same time I announce the publishing of this one.
When all is said and done, Encounters will be the longest book of the series. Pre-editing, the story itself is already sitting at 102,655 words, and I usually end up adding 1,000 to 1,500 hundred more during the editing.
