It is Halloween today and my daughter is throwing a middle school party at our house. Still, I am finding time to pick apart my masterpiece and put it back together.
I have finished the last two chapters that I wanted to add in. I have also scrapped three chapters. It probably took me weeks to complete them and now they are garbage.
I have changed the format to what is expected of a manuscript of a memoir and for some reason that small thing has made it feel like I have written a book. It feels like there is a finish line and that I can see it far in the distance.
My highest word count was 109,000 words and I’m back down to 98,000 again. This feels like a win.
I have put in an order in for the first hard copy and I intend on showing my sister-in-law this weekend. I plan to ask her to be an Alpha reader.
