And so it ends.

Today and just minutes ago, I finished the rewrites/revisions on the computer for draft #7 of Book #7 of the Corrosive Knights series.

The process has been difficult to this point, made even more so because, as can be seen from the graphic above, Book #7 in this series is meant the conclusion of the Corrosive Knights series as well as the conclusion of over 10 years of very hard work.  It also didn’t help that I had people over the past two or so weeks doing work on the house as I’m trying to fit in time to do this revision!

As a conclusion to this series, I absolutely want this book to be special.  I want it to wrap everything up in a way that’s going to leave everyone who’s followed along on this magical ride, from the beginning or beginning now, left more than “just” satisfied.

I want you to leave happy.  I want you to leave pleased.

I want you to feel like the time you’ve gifted me for my writings, the faith you’ve put into my story telling, is more than “just” rewarded.

Mind you, the book isn’t done quite yet, though I feel this latest draft represents something I’ve been longing for: The point where I feel I’ve finally, finally put in everything I wanted to put into this novel.

Every story element is there.  Every story beat has been addressed.

Going forward, there may be some very minor things I may add and/or subtract, but the next drafts, #8 and on, will focus almost exclusively on grammatical and spelling issues.

Basically, the car’s built.  Now its time to polish her paint and clean her interior until she sparkles.

I’m likely repeating myself, but I couldn’t be more proud of what I’ve done here and I truly, sincerely, can’t wait to get it into your hands.

Soon, my friends.  Very soon.
