The Doll's House - End of Hibernation & 1st Draft






I'm officially out of hibernation!!!! Yippee, yay and all the rest of it.

The first draft of The Doll's House is now done, all 118,000 words of it. Of course the end of one thing usually signals the beginning of another, and my mind is already ticking over on changing this and adding in that, but that's all for another time, when the whole editing process gets underway. 

For now, I'm going to put on the kettle, let my mind go blank, and then pick up the pieces by saying HELLO to you all.

    1. thanks Martin - it still has a way to go in the editing process, but it does have a beginning, middle and end, and that's a platform at least. Hope your own writing is going well. xx L

    1. Exited and somewhat exhausted Derek!!! A couple more adjustments yesterday and we're at 120K - looks like this is going to be a rather large crime novel - last page count - 478!!! But of course that could all change - the joys of the editing process :-) xxx L
