It’s possible — not probable — that I may have not one, but *two* novels done by my hard deadline of July 22. It’s possible. Definitely possible. And the reason is I’ve spent many months working on the first act of a novel that has been split into two — so the first act is now two thirds of a novel unto itself.
I hope the heroine of my first novel is as interesting as Lisbeth Salander.
Meanwhile, the two thirds of the beta draft of the novel I was working on is still there, ready to be rewritten. And I MIGHT be able to get that done too by around July 22.
But I just don’t know. I will be grateful to wrap up this first novel by then, much less two. And there is the THIRD novel — a scifi Western — that I’m interested in working on, as well.
Anyway. Things are move really, really fast with this first novel. I’m very pleased. All my work — even if it was drifting work — of the last few years is finally beginning to produce some creative fruit. In hindsight, I wish I had not told anyone about what I was working on, but lulz, I’m 100% extroverted, what else was I going to do?
