The End... For The Third Time

 

 

I've done it! The third draft is complete and now has a word count of 84,488, which is pretty close to my 85,000 aim. I managed to cut 9,604 words and it was much easier than I imagined. I'm hoping it's a better draft after losing all the pap.

The final sigh count was 12, with 9 eye rolls. Must do better next time.

I'm going to have a final read through, starting on Monday and then, if all is well, it'll be time to write the dreaded synopsis. And then the even more dreaded submission process. I've bought Nicola Morgan's Dear Agent so I'll be reading through that for some tips.

But for now, *phew* *collapses*
