Quick update
I have finished Firebound (provisional title). – Happy dance!
It has been through 10 drafts and had an 18% cutt and has finally come in at 209 pages and 92046 words. And is now ready to send out, just in time for York. I plan to write a detailed post on how I worked through those drafts at the weekend (if I don’t do his you have my permission to kick me) which hopefully some people may find useful otherwise it will still be useful for me to motivate myself when I’m stuck on draft one with book 2. But for now since other things beckon, here is a quick look at my spreadsheet that tracked by progress.
Hi Kathryn – I came via Twitter
I am at the same stages of my novel as you are 
Hi
I’ve found it’s much harder than I first expected and I didn’t think I’d underesimated the the challenge before I took it on and now I hit the hard work of trying to sell it.
How are you finding it?
