First Draft Done!

April 23, 2009

The bouncing baby first draft of my latest novel was born today!  It weighed in at just over 102,000 words.  Please join me in welcoming World of Trouble into the world!  (Applaud here, please.)  Now, I need to get rolling on preparations for the marketing workshop, which starts next Friday!  Hoo boy!

Now for today’s photo.  In honor of Jazzfest, which is currently underway in New Orleans, here’s a shot of Wendy and me in front of Preservation Hall in that very city!  Have I mentioned that I’m a huge jazz fan?  See you tomorrow.
