Last night, I finished a draft of the second book of the septet, weighing in at about 78,500 words. I wrote 9,600 words just Saturday through Monday!
It’s been an intense five weeks, but I feel satisfied the book came together. And a little enchanted, in a good way, like I walked charmed paths to get here. And tired, but good tired. Now to bind it together more tightly, making sure all the arcs complete, and polish it a bit, and then it’s off to the beta readers.
The working title for book two is The Deer-Stalker.
