Thirteen Approacheth!
Three more chapters to go and I've completed the first draft of Ninth Grade Sucks! Of course, for some reason, this book is working out just like the first in the series--the first draft will end short of my 40,000 word goal.
But that's okay. I tend to add quite a bit during revisions anyway, and that will put me over the top.
What's interesting is that I go through a period of sadness when I get close to finishing a book. The same sadness, interestingly enough, that I go through after I finish reading a really great book. I just get bummed that the journey is over. And, even though I know that there will be other books, other stories, other characters...I still mourn the loss.
Weird, huh?
Today I'll be finishing up Chapter Thirteen (which will be the most exciting chapter in the entire book...plus it's my favorite number!), cleaning off my desk, and contemplating my deep love of Fester Jester.
