The target is 100,000 words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’m 25,000 words in at Stage 3 (ready for final proof and external edit).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There’s another 10,000 words at Stage 2 (had 3rd proof and 3rd edit).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And another 10,000 words at Stage 1 (had 2nd proof and 2nd edit).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(Stage 0 is construction and continual edit\/rewrite until I can finally leave it alone)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The plot is mapped out to conclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So it’s time to trigger the rejection letters and email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Starting next week I shall begin sending the submission of my second novel to literary agents in a quest to achieve publication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’m not holding my breath because I remember how difficult it was to get the first book published.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
