And done.
118,496 words.
I'm sending the completed book to the beta readers to give it a once over and see if anything doesn't fit.
After and during that i'll be going over the material on a "second pass." For me this entails rewriting anything that doesn't make sense on a second read through.
A good example of this is originally in book 1 there was an extended scene in the alley with Katarina and Runner hiding from the tracker.
It didn't fit very well with the rest of the book so it was deleted as a whole.
Once we're done with the second pass this'll be sent off to the editor while the artist builds the cover.
Then it'll go to amazon.
This one went faster than the first book. Primarily because the first book was a lot of me hand wringing and being nervous if people would even like it.
Supportive reviews are the best thing in the world for a writer I've come to realize.
Right, then.
See ya'll soon. :)
