Marred By A Heart

Very good day. Very good day for progress on the book. I think I'm rolling up on Act III as we speak. I can see it on the horizon.

A lot of fun stuff being written. Just wrote out the four Spells of Seasons, which are spoken in a mix of English (Eli's native tongue) and another language. I'm not sure what the other language is, but I have the spells written. They're fun to say, and sound as if they should conjure up something...so better be careful with them. I won't write them here. I really don't want to give away anything to specific here. But herm reads through the book as I write it, and she is very engaged. That's a good sign.

Closing in. Wrote about fifteen pages today. I think I have about 80 to go, give or take. And then I have to give it at least three edits myself, before I pass it on to my editor. Then I'm on to illustrations.

Yeah, at least three.
