My second draft is going much better than I thought it would, and I’m already about a third through the book fixing it up.
I’ve booked the editor, which means I have to finish the manuscript within two weeks. It should be enough time, as long as my beta reader *cough, husband* doesn’t take more than a week to read and comment on the bits that are slow or unclear.
If the editor takes about two weeks, and my cover designer is also fast and efficient, it could mean that Zombie? will be up just in time for Halloween. Oh goodness me, I hope so. That’s the date I’m shooting for at any rate.
But what is the title? Oh I’m glad you asked. I was going to name it Zombie? (yes the question mark is supposed to be there, I think it sounds more interesting given that this isn’t your typical Hollywood zombie). But is the title too obvious? Should it be something more intriguing?
It’s another thing thing that I”ll discuss with hubby when he reads it because I’ll need the title ready to give the cover designer.
I’ve already started thinking about my next book of course. Although to be fair, I probably wouldn’t be able to do any more than draft it out before I start NaNoWriMo. My other alter ego pen name will be writing for NaNo, and she writes in a far different genre than I do (he, he). Then my real namesake has to do a non fiction book, so me, Trista, won’t be able to start my next scary book until next year.
Well never mind. At least it will give me lots of time to come up with some cool twists for my plot by then.
But first things first, and that’s getting Zombie? finished.
Fun times.
