So the first draft is like 95% done. I've already written the ending and the epilogue, and now I'm marrying the two piece I've written together. I did consider writing the remaining chapters retrospectively, but for one reason or another i decided not to.
Don't ask me why. I just picked up writing where i left of and I haven't looked back.
Reaching the end of the first draft has made me start to consider two important things: Firstly, that I have a hell of a lot of work to do on this first draft before its readable and even more work to do before its publishable.
Secondly, I've actively started thinking about the space the first novel will take. What it will look like. What kind of illustrations will fill its pages and how many. Reaching the end of one journey really do present you with a door to yet another.
If I want to get the book finished by December and have it in my hands by Christmas then I have to be very, very specific about the illustrations I want to create. And I need to start working on them. NOW.
Seven months until Christmas. Blink and it'll be October.
There really ain't enough hours in the day are there?
More later.
