Reaching the End

I just finished the draft of book 5. Hooky Holidays, Holiday Homicide, Dead the Halls, Hooked for the Holidays. Who knows what the title will be? My mind is numb. This is a big deal because the deadline I set for myself was Saturday and here it is Friday and I’m done – Temporarily anyway. I’m taking the weekend off before I start rewriting. That’s taking the weekend off working on Book 5. Next to me is are the first pass pages of A Stitch in Crime. I got them yesterday and they need them back by next Thursday. I’ll be spending the weekend with Book 4 and passing out candy to the 300 or so trick or treaters that show up at our house.

I’m taking the rest of the evening off. Just crocheting and a romantic comedy.

What a feeling, huh Betty? Even though there will be rewrites (for me at least) it's so good to know the whole thing is there.
Congratulations!

Congrats! No rest for the wicked. 300 kids! That's a job in itself. But fun. Enjoy.

Atta girl. I'm knee-deep in Book #4 of my Kiki Lowenstein Series. Tentatively called "Make, Take, Murder," so I'm thinking how much fun it will be to type --The End-- because I love telling myself the story!

I agree that it's always such a relief to finish a first draft, Betty. Congratulations! Have fun with your trick-or-treaters. We seldom get any at all.

I posted a comment saying how nice it was to be in the company of people who understand. But apparently it never went through.
