Another book done! And it was a fun one to do -- a radical departure from what I first planned for it (originally a dramatic story but is now a comedy) because I wanted something cheerful to offset the heavier tone of Compline.
I technically have room for more chapters, but I stuck to the base length of 26 since I'd like to expand each with the rest of the word count. The current draft tops out at just over 45k words, and the remaining 4k+ will be used for expanded passages and dialogue (of which the draft has several).
And to celebrate, here's a video of a song that pretty accurately captures the book's plot and mood.
Man, this song was pretty big back in my day, and while I didn't really think much about it then, I appreciate the sentiment now with the book that's just finished.
So we're on track for a Nov. 1 release, and I'll have all of August to work on revisions and edits. September will be the final sweep, and then I'll get going on Doppelgänger.
