NaNo Day Nine

Not much to report today. I ran off to the zoo and did a little writing, but mostly took pictures. If I were writing about gorillas, I would have fascinating new material because I spent a good bit of time chatting with a keeper, but alas, no gorillas. (Maybe I can create some shapeshifters in the Dark Haven series whose second form is that of a gorilla . . . )

Chugging along. Definitely not crossing the 15k mark tonight, but I'm not unhappy with the words I wrote.


11522 / 50000 words. 23% done!

Let's see those wordcounts. Anyone learn anything new and fascinating today?

Day 9 Total: 17,002/50,000

Good News is that yesterday, the writing went very quickly and easily - important because I didn't have much time. Bad News was that I'm 95% certain that what I was writing will be in the last chapter of the book. :( Sigh...

Talk about writing last chapter. I've managed to write the climax and resolution. Now I have to move backwards.

I'm at 14790

What's Next?

A lot of people are writing to ask if Grave Destiny is the final book in the series. I'm very happy to report that no, this is not the end! Ace has contracted one final Alex Craft novel so that I can finish up the story. I'm currently writing the first draft, and while it has a tentative title, I'm not free to share it quite yet. I'll be turning in the 7th Alex Craft novel this September, so I anticipate it will be released late 2020 or early 2021 but will update you when I have more information. So, for those of you worried that this might be the end, worry not. There is more. I hope you are enjoying Grave Destiny!
