Yesterday was a good day for writing. A net difference of minus 2,955 words. Yeah me!
In actuality, I finished the draft for chapter 4 of “The Little Known Heroes of the Bible.” I had started it last year, then put it aside to work on “The Messengers: Decision” and “A New Home.”
Along the way, I had collected research for the chapter. At one point, the chapter was over 15,000 words long. Of course, once I condensed the manuscript, then deleted the dross, it had shrunk by a third. Now it’s the size it needs to be.
The draft of the book is some 40% finished. I have significant portions of two more chapters written. If I can write my goal of 500 words per day (2,500 per week), then the first draft should be done in about five months. Let’s see if I can bring it in sooner than that.
On another note, one of my author friends has just published her fifth book in her “War” series. If you have not read Diane Moody’s work, I highly recommend her. Search on Amazon.
