The Endgame

I'm very close to the endgame here now. I just finished Chapter Twenty Nine of CHERUBIM, and it's already topping out almost 20k words longer than NIGHTWALKER. I'm not sure how much longer this is going to take though. I'm at the end of my weekend writing schedule with the workweek coming up, and I'm figuring maybe 4-5 more chapters are going to be necessary to finish up the story. Maybe one more than that to wrap things up a little, I'm not sure yet.

But it's in the final phase of the first draft, and that's a good thing. I may take a few days after I get finished with this first phase to just let everything sit so that I can tackle the editing and revision phase all fresh and bright eyed so to speak.

Besides that, I'm waiting on the review copies I sent out to come back so I can see how well NIGHTWALKER is being received. I put a lot of work into it, and I'm curious to see if I should have kept it all to myself like I've done with all my previous writing. Have only sold a handful of copies, but that's ok. As long as I can say I sold at least one I get to keep the title of Author. I think that's how that works. I might be wrong on that.

According to Booksprout, I have til next Sunday to get at least 3 reviews. Good or bad I'll take them as long as they're honest and aren't troll reviews. It would kind of suck to have the only reviews I get be along the lines of "you suck!"

I mean lets be honest, I already think that about my writing, so other people telling me that isn't really going to bother me all that much, but it will aggravate the hell out of me knowing that's the only thing that came to mind after they read it.

Oh well, can only wait and see.
