I feel . . . brain dead.

I thought I'd have this done yesterday. Spent all day writing. Got halfway through the throne room scene, which ended up being SO MUCH LONGER than expected. But I thought it was all good. So then I said I'd finish it today, thinking there would be 10 pages more to go, max.

But NO!! NO!!! It was almost 20 pages more!!!! Plus the sudden introduction of an unexpected epilogue!!!!

I'm not 100% certain I like the ending as is, though. But I hated the ending of the first book when I wrote that, so it's all par for the course I guess. Also, as usual, rather than being totally excited that it's finished, I'm just exhausted.

So, here are the final numbers. I'm off to bed.

Congratulations! I'm happy that you got the sucker done and found those words your were needing to get above the 100K level. Put another White Russian on my tab -- get the super premium vodka.

Hi Joshua, I hope you get this. It was great seeing you today! You told me to email the contact on the website and this is closest I could find, so please email me back soon so I know I was headed in the right direction.

I loved your Bio! Your picture was completely way too seductive! I suggest you do a new one so you look more like a serious author!!

I hope to get in touch with you soon. Anytime you want to do a signing, we will be ready. If you want to do a signing at the B&N down the street, and you haven't set it up already, call me and I would be happy to do the legwork.

So, I hope you are "happy". Call me anytime at 604-785-1366 or email @ shopko@stny.rr.com
