Novel Update

Good news: I'm basically finished with the first draft.

I have to do another read-through and add some small portions here-and-there for consistency's sake...but then it's off!

I sent a previous draft to my agent back in October 07 and she said it felt a little half-cooked, citing some confusion around the antagonists' plight. After a mini-pout session, I agreed and have been working on streamlining everything since...

After my next read-through, I could feasibly finish the draft in about 10-14 hours of clean up...I'd like to have that finished by June 1. Will I? Maybe...Been pretty lazy lately and spending my time on other ventures...Like drinking, napping & good-old Krav Maga...

One thing is for certain...That I will be finished sometime in June...So I'm easing into it...

I have the title too, but am always weary about releasing that until it's been approved by my agency...
