Yesterday was a very good day.

I finished reading and writing my revisions to draft 11b of the latest Corrosive Knights novel, #6 of the series, now will turn to putting those written fixes into the computer.

The reason I labeled the draft 11b (and the previous draft 11a) was because these were not full novel revisions.  In the case of 11a, I read/revised a little over one half of the book, mostly the second half, because I felt the first half of the book was good as is.

With 11b, I was able to cut down the number of pages even more and found myself reviewing just a little under 1/2 of the book this time around.  I could have cut that page count even more but I wanted to read a “block” of the book to make sure one chapter flowed into the next.

As I was about to start draft 11b, I worried there might be a need for an 11c review.

This is where the “very good day” thing I wrote above comes into play:

After finishing up this latest draft, I’m happy to report the novel is pretty much done.

I found a few things that needed clarification/elimination but overall I feel the second half of the novel, the part that needed this extra look, is finally ready to be “locked down”.

So, what’s left to do?

After putting the corrections into the computer, I’m going to print the whole thing out and give the entire novel one more read through which will be draft #12.  Hopefully, following this read through and after correcting whatever grammatical errors are left, we’re done.

Finished.

Finito.

Not long now, friends.  Just have to get through Hurricane Matthew and we’ll be fine…
