Yesterday I finished the first draft of Zombie [working title]. I was expecting to feel super pleased, like something momentous would happen once I hit the save button. But after a little internal high-five moment, the feeling passed pretty quickly.
I also started editing it today. I’ve finished the first chapter (although the first chapter is super short), so I’ve only got fifteen or so chapters to go. I’m not sure how long it will take me, but judging by how quickly I did the first chapter, it should go smoothly.
Of course nothing ever goes as planned, so who really knows? Especially since it’s school holidays here, and, I can barely think straight with the kids fighting each other and going crazy, let alone fix up my novel.
But we will see.
I’m hoping to have it out to my beta reader by the middle of next month. That’s probably an ambitious plan, but it’s good to have a date to shoot for.
After that it’s off to editing and cover design.
All up, I’m really hoping that it goes smoothly enough so that it will be for sale on Amazon by Christmas. Because isn’t that what every one wants Santa to bring them: a sad zombie story? I thought so.
