Well, I’m almost done with the first draft of Hunter’s Moon, the next Vampires Realm story and a werewolf / vampire romance e-book. In the end, I think it’s going to turn out closer to the 50,000 word mark than 40,000. It was originally supposed to be 30,000 but the plot developed a little as I started writing it and I’m happy with the growth. I think the book supports it. It’s quite an emotional story, but has action too.
I have around 4 chapters to write. I’m currently on 35,423 words and I’m in the middle of a love scene. It’s the all important first time for the hero (a werewolf named Nicolae) and the heroine (a vampire of the Nocens bloodline called Tatyana). Of course, having to write a love scene first thing on a Monday morning isn’t exactly conducive to getting plenty of words written. Progress was a bit slow, but I managed around 1000 words… somehow. That’s half of my normal word count for the morning. Hopefully I’ll be able to get into the love scene at lunch time and get it written. After that, there’s a lot of action, and some biting to write. Yum!
I should probably finish the first draft by Wednesday evening. I hope I do as I have to proof a non-Vampires Realm story, Her Warrior Angel, and get it ready for going on sale on November 20th.
Will post an update when I’m done with Hunter’s Moon.
