A Fire is Woken in progress!

Progress update on A FIRE IS WOKEN.

Nina and I have been working very hard on it over the past few days and have now gotten to the stage where we're starting to put the pieces together.  Much too much of the book I wrote in advance...long before we actually got to the scenes.  Over the past few days I have written some 10,000 words, which has allowed me to put another 10,000 words together into a readable manuscript!  It's amazing to watch the book come together.

I'd have to say that with this addition to the manuscript I'm well over two thirds of the way through the novel.

Both Nina and I feel that we're outgrowing the book, which is, ultimately, pretty sweet.  Both of us have begun to delve deeper into darker writing, so sometimes keeping up the sweetness of the novel.

The goal is to have it finished by the end of February, and right now I think we're on track to make the goal.  It'll be wonderful to have the novel done.  In one way I think I'm going to miss it and I'm going to miss the characters, but.   It'll be amazing to have it done.

And ultimately I'm ready to have BOTH of the first two books published.  It's almost like I'm out of editing mode and into marketing mode.  Almost like I can detach myself from the books now...

Even if we haven't finished the second one.  ;)

Fun stuff, all of it.  You can all expect to have more updates forthcoming!
