Dear Shell,
The first draft of Hideaway Inn is technically finished, although I don't consider it officially finished since I know I have a few scenes I need to add still. It has a beginning, middle, and end. I wrote the final chapter and epilogue last night/this morning. So that is why I say it's technically finished.
Today, between job searches, I have been slowly going through the manuscript, double-checking my timelines, looking for missing scenes, and adding in some much needed descriptions. I have noticed I tend not to describe certain things since well, I see them in my head so I already know what it looks like.
I think what I plan to do is, once I have gone through the first draft and figured out the scenes I need to add, I'll add those in, then print the whole thing out. That'll make it easier to edit. For me anyway.
I have a scene I may end up cutting out near the end of the story. It leads up to the third book of the series (yes, I'm going to try to turn this into a trilogy or maybe a 4 book series), but it's a rather touchy subject/scene so may have to change it around at a minimum.
I'm getting requests from a couple people now to hurry up so they can read it. So I guess i better get back to it. I wanted to post quick here though since it has been a little bit since my last letter.
Lost in a world of witches, warlocks and vampires,
Shell
