100% complete
Since Last Post = 2,929 words
The first draft of Space Rescue sequel to my award-winning (in my own mind) novel The Mars Run is done!
Now, the observant among you may note that I'm about 20,000 words short of my target length. Well, therefore I'm not "done" in the sense that all descriptions, characterizations, etc. are complete, but I'm done in the sense that the story has been told. There are no "make this up later" sessions in the book, so I have a complete story.
I still have work to do, including getting my outline caught up with the novel, but now I will be shifting focus to generating query letters and finding some alpha readers. If you're interested, let me know. I've considered pouring this into a Lulu book format for folks to read.
At any rate, Yeah Me!
