The End
Getting down to the wire. I have about five chapters or so to go. This is the time to put your strongest work into the book. After several re-writes and eighteen months of work, I want the book over. Nevertheless, at this point you cannot rush it. Don’t deprive your readers of a strong finish.
I have always had a strong desire to put out a killer product for my soon to be readers. Even though I have looked at this book for what seems to be a short lifetime. I want it to be fantastic. My agent read the first half and notice about eleven typos. When she said she found some mistakes I was thinking that the manuscript would be totally red, marked. But, it wasn’t.
Now if I can make a strong finish with my agent loving it. Then we can move on to submission. It has become very exciting.
Note to Jim Butcher fans: The Harry Dresden Files was picked up as a series on the Sci-Fi channel. I don’t know when it will air. But I’m totally looking forward to it.

It's impossible to catch everything in a manuscript. After a writer stares at it for months (sometimes years) he or she becomes blind to typos and such.
Thanks S. It has been a long time in the making. But it will be worth it once I see it sitting at the book store.
Zinnia there is so much truth to your comment it's not funny.
Go, Lisa! I need reading material ;)
I know exactly what you mean about having to control yourself and slow down near the end. I always want to slam through it because I'm so excited. Good luck with your last big push!
Thank Richelle. Thanks for stopping by.
People you must go to Richelle's blog and read. Some great stuff.
S spread the word far and wide. Ricia is doing good. I came up with something new and she love the idea.
The last chapter of the book will be written as a journal entry. I liked the idea because you can really see into Logan's mind.
The blood, sweat and tear are almost over. And good luck with the final hurdles.
Thanks Alexandra. Here's hoping for a smooth finish.
I quite like the idea of ending with a journal entry from Logan - and given everything that happens in the book, she's bound to have a lot to say!
Yeah Logan is rarely speechless.
Hey everybody. I'm still alive. Just have to work out a few bumps in the road. I'll be post a new comment soon.
Congratulations...and onward! And remember to enjoy the ride. It's such a strange mix of elation and sadness that can come with the completion of a beloved project. Love the journey, baby!
All best wishes for your continued success!
Hugs from CT,
