60k

It seems to have taken me a while to get here, but at last I made the 60k mark on The Secret King – The beginning.

I am getting really close to the ending of this, which sort of scares me and excites me all at the same time.

Then comes the re-write process. Which I am looking forward to immensely because on my first edit pass I have to put all the extra stuff in that my ‘scriptwriter’ head excludes.

For the most part I would say that the novel is dialogue and some action. I need to add in lots of description and bits to make it flow and read easier. This doesn’t come too easy for me. But is possible with some work. I am aware of it, so that helps me a lot.

I am also hoping that I’ve snookered some beta readers to help me out. Although not sure they’re ready for this draft yet. I guess we’ll see. I might shave it into parts and give them a little at a time.

I am really excited to get to the end of this and whip it into shape. I love this world and the characters are amazing. I hope everyone else will love them as much as me too. Only time will tell with that one though.

Thanks for stopping by…

 

Speak soon.
