One month to finish the book!

Instead of answering the weekly question today, I thought I would take a moment to FREAK OUT! Because The Last Dragon needs to be finished in one month for editing to properly take place. I've got about 30,000 words left to write. Easy? Maybe ... but for some reason this book has not been the easiest to write, so churning out the chapters has certainly been a challenge. In light of that, I have actually managed to write 57,000 words so far, so I guess I like challenges ;)

If you haven't read The Witching Pen trilogy yet, please do before you read The Last Dragon (if you actually want to understand most things). Book one of The Witching Pen is FREE - http://www.thewitchingpen.co.uk/the-witching-pen.html

Things to expect from me in AUGUST:
1. An issue of my eNewsletter (sign up here - http://mad.ly/signups/68569/join)
2. My getting rather grumpy and crotchety as I near the end of the book and start to panic (apologies in advance)
3. Three blog appearances (one of them will have a giveaway)
4. Me procrastinating, then getting angry with myself because I should be working

Aren't you so looking forward to my August? Yeah you are...

Brace yourself, because September might be even worse - you have all now been warned about my grumpy, angry self just prior to finishing a story ;)

Have a great weekend, folks :D

Wrapping up a book.

I am playing catch-up with my writing, which is why this post hits you a day late :)

It seems to be yet another month of illness in my household, and I'm hoping beyond hope that March is a good'un!

I'm near the end of my book now. About four chapters left to go. But the ending is sometimes the hardest, and I'm trying to wrap everything up (in as much as possible) and checking for plot holes. Aaaahh, those continuity errors - how I hate those.

Cry Of The Wolf is quite different to Releasing The Wolf. Those that have read my Witching Pen series won't be surprised, as those three books were quite different to each other also. Book three, Heart Of The Wolf, will be different yet again, not least because we're introduced to a new character in book two whose story will continue in book three...

There'll be at least four books in this series I think ... we'll see.

I'm looking forward to finishing COTW and getting my teeth sunk into the editing. This is always my test at the end of a book: not to rush. It's easy to want to because you see the end in sight, but you can't. You've got to make sure you've told every part of the story you want to and left nothing crucial out, because everyone's gonna have to wait for the next book (don't hate me ... please don't hate me, lol)!

Okay ... back to writing...

If you haven't read it yet, book one is HERE. It's only $1.99 - pick yourself up a copy. It's a fun read. You know, as long as you don't mind lots of werewolf sex ... er-hem.
