It's nearly done!...edited on July 21 - it is essentially done! [View all]
Last edited Sun Jul 21, 2013, 12:25 PM - Edit history (1)
Book text, first draft, due June 30.
As of 5 minutes ago - 92,300 words written (target 90K)
206 pg Word doc
On page 135 of the first pass to completion
Wife and daughter are both reading from pg 1 and giving me their suggestions/comments.
When I push the send button on June 30....relief!
of course, then starts the process of back and forth request for changes, edits, etc......but....
I can sense the relief of having sent in that first draft already!
