And Call of the Morrigu is finished! First draft is a wrap. The denouement was shorter than I had expected, but the climax scene was longer, so it all works out.
This one fought me. It's my fifth novel, and three of those were in a series. It's the shortest novel I've written yet (most were 100K). Historical fantasy. I struggled to get out 1000 words a day when I was getting more than 2000 words a day on the others. I took several weeks-long breaks, but finished it after four months. Yesterday, during the climax, is when I got my Flow on... 5500 words in a day, woohoo!
Now to stick it away for a couple weeks to simmer... a total of 58,600 words. I had expected around 60K originally. That will fluctuate up and down with edits, but I usually end up around the same in the end.
That's a wrap! First draft of Call of the Morrigu DONE!
