The end is near …

• Posted in About Books, On Writing

So, I’m working on a second draft of the second book in my Spy series — You Only Spy Twice. I’m up to 70,000 words now, and I can see the end (of this draft at least).

I’ve got to finish the chapter I’m working on. Write my final big action sequence, then tie everything together at the end. Sounds like a lot (and it is), but it’s a lot closer to being done than I was this time last week. I might meet my March 1 deadline after all. :bubbles:

What about you guys? Anybody do any writing this weekend?

    It’s fun to be on the downhill side of a book. I’m entering edits from my hard copy markup onto my computer. Good luck meeting your deadline!

    I’m also working on a spy novel. Mine is a fantasy espionage that I call “a blend of Jane Austen and James Bond.” It is very low-tech and quirky. I hit 80,000 words on Sunday!

    Edie — It is a great feeling. I think I can be mostly done by Sunday. We’ll see. Good luck with your own edits! :scooby:

    Tia — 80,000? That’s great! Keep on plugging away, and you’ll hit 100,000 before you know it. :joecool:
