Wow. I can't believe it. I've just finished my first draft of my paranormal YA!!!!! I've been closeted up for the last two months working on it. Drinking too much coffee and eating too much chocolate. But it's good and it feels fabulous to have the draft there.
It came out as 68,000 words but there are parts that I’ll need to go back and add and some scenes I’d like to expand—like the final fight scene!
Sure, it's a bare skeleton but it's something to work from. So to celebrate, Luke and I made chocolate cake.
