Monsters, Maces and Magic: Revived's 1st Draft

Typed "The End" to Revived's first draft last night (well, technically at about 20 minutes after midnight--so today). It came in at 123,447 words. Longer than anticipated. Based on the outline, I originally figured it'd end at about 110,000 words.

Several revision and editing passes come next.

My publisher (Gryphonwood Press) notified me the other day that Date's audiobook version was uploaded for publication. Expect about another week or so before it's available.

Mapping Things Out

Readers of my blog probably know that I outline my novels. A rough sketch, hitting the high points in the plot, maybe with some notes on places and dialogue and people.

Also, while writing scenes, especially action scenes, I will use pen and paper to map things out. Nothing fancy. I do this so that I can keep it all straight, consistent, and help to draw a better picture with words so that readers can see it all in their mind's eye.

That's just what I am doing now, for the tenth or eleventh time in my current novel in progress, Revived. The party is about to spoil an intended ambush by a band of goblins. :)
