That’s a Wrap

The (very, very) rough draft is finished. And yet, I do not feel that dancingly happy feeling of accomplishment, as there is much more writing to do. A lot of the writing feels superficial at the moment, sketchy. However, the first draft is done.

What happens next? I've solicited some folks to read the thing a chapter or two at a time for feedback. My goal is for me to have the second draft tweaked with feedback by the end of April. In May and June, I'll be taking some time off from writing to create in another medium (time to do a little serious sewing!).

In June/July, I'll get the manuscript out to some full draft readers, with the hopes of getting it around over the summer and getting it off by August. Yes, that *is* a full six months after I'd hoped. I think it's okay to break a self-imposed deadline. An industry one is another matter.

Well, gotta go. The little battery sign on the computer has turned red.
