I AM OFFICIALLY FINISHED WITH DEADLY CARESS! It's party time baby! I feel so great for having finally finished this story that I've been working on since last October. My baby has finally been born. Now it's time to watch it grow up. I'll start edits on the manuscript tonight, and I'm even more excited to get started doing that. It'll be great to read my story from start to finish, while editing it of course, to see the entire product together. So the finished result of working on this book while in school and the mad dash I've done to get it finished since school ended is a 377 page 113, 469 word manuscript! Of course I haven't edited yet so that will definitely change, but I'm still happy I accomplished something so great. All those who have done it know that writing a book is not easy. Hell, it's hard, but when you do what you love it doesn't feel so much like work.
I want to thank my mother who has been a giant help as I've written this manuscript. She's edited Every chapter (there are 30 and a prologue) laughed and got frustrated with me over the characters and the plot. She's helped me develop the story and given me ideas when I was stuck, so thank you so much! And now she and I are going to start from the beginning and edit the hell out of it! Deadly Caress is the second manuscript I've finished, but it's the first I've seriously thought about getting published, and it's the first one that I think is good enough to publish.
On another note, I plan on starting writing the next book in the Deadly Seven serious after I finish the edits of DC. I'm really excited to start that book too! The next book will be about the deadly sin Wrath and will probably pick up a few months after Deadly Caress ends. I have a name for the book, but I'm not sure how much I love it. So right now it's called Deadly Fury, but I was also thinking of Deadly Fire. I'll post more updates on the second book soon!
