IT IS DONE!

Sort of.

After eight gruelling months of side-by-side rewrites in what free hours I had outside of work, Kill The King draft 3 clocked in at approximately 114,000 words. This is almost right on target for losing a tenth of a manuscript’s length per draft, as the sages advise. 

That’s not to say the work is done. During my rewrite, I noticed the need for several alterations and additions – chapter breaks to group together scenes, stronger foreshadowing, perhaps adding maps to some sections – but once that’s done, it’s due for one final scrubbing and trimming. Any who want to join the list for an advanced reader copy, leave a comment or shoot me an email. All I ask in return are your impressions. 

Once all that is done, I think it’s ready for representation. Time to take the plunge.

Went to Australia Zoo with the wife for her birthday, and goddamn if those echidnas aren’t the cutest.
