Yee-haw!

Well, I can now officially say that the first draft is done!

It’s a pretty cool feeling to have accomplished something of this magnitude.  A novel is a pretty serious undertaking, and I’m glad to have finally done it 🙂

So I’m taking a few days away from it (or more like a week to be honest) to let it rest and decide my approach to re-writing and editing, plus I’m recording some guitar tracks for a friend of mine.  Then the real fun begins 🙂

A big THANK-YOU to everyone who’s stuck with me during this time, I appreciate it more than words can say 🙂

Some significant progress

Tonight I managed to double the usual word count I write every time I sit down to work- 2,200 words!  Not a bad effort for about two hours work if I do say so myself.

So Bentley has a new friend – all I will say at this point is his name is Arti, and he is a large creature reminiscent of someone who enjoys hunny.  And I will reveal nothing more 🙂

Looking back at my work for the night, I know there will be some significant re-writing when the time comes to edit, but I’m happy with progress tonight.  Still, no hurry, I like to take my time and let things gestate properly.

Thanks to everyone who has followed this blog since I started posting.  Please feel free to share this blog with your friends/co workers/colleagues etc., I would appreciate it very  much.
