j_cheney...and calling it done.
The ROUGH draft of The Devil in the Details, at 93.3K. ROUGH. REALLY ROUGH.
This will come out at 100K when I rewrite it, I believe, but I'm putting it aside for a while. I didn't pin on a purty ending, primarily because it's so rough that I suspect most of the last chapter will end up being trashed anyway. Thank heavens I have permission to write terrible first drafts.
This is officially my fourth completed novel....so am I not supposed to sell this one?
Getting back to short stories for the next couple of weeks, plus the plot bunny's epic.
