I have committed book
Aug. 4th, 2007 02:25 pmWrote the last scene of THE FINAL SACRIFICE this morning.  Celebrated by jumping on the bike for a ride, hiring a painter to paint my house, then lunch at my favorite place.  As soon as I post this, I'm heading off to the movie theater to hide from the heat.  
The final totals are:
Total manuscript: 103,250
Words written since June 1st: 85,250.
As you can see, it's been a crazy couple of months. I don't think I could have kept on track if it wasn't for the great folks over at
novel_in_90.  I don't necessarily recommend the level of effort required to write this much in such a short period (especially for folks like myself who are fitting this in around a day job).  But it can be done.
And I know that there's good writing in there. The scenes I wrote over the past few days are some of the best I've ever done.
And, to make my day even better, spotted a great rec for THE SEA CHANGE over at fireun's LJ. THE SEA CHANGE totally kicked my ass while I was writing it, so it's nice to see that the effort was worth it.
