Counting Down

Six days.

I'm so close that I can practically taste second draft victory. It's an altogether different kind of flavor! Indescribable, really.

I have reached 180 pages, due to a little more showing than telling. Also, I added a few fancy touches, and modified some inconsistencies. I'm still hoping to have 200 pages total, at least by the final draft.

Ugh, I've read and reread this book so many times, I probably have every word memorized. I could  travel around and do book recitations, I know it so well. I almost can't bear to look at it anymore, let alone read it again and make sure everything lines up...

But I must conquer!

I have three names to change - 1) a deserted island; 2) the giant king's fortress; and 3) the name of the giant army. And I have one last scene to adjust...and the second draft is finished!

Novel Update: I'm definitely going to make my sub-goal. After that, I'll have exactly 100 days. *Cue the creepy music - dun, dun, dun, dah!*
