The first draft of book number two is complete. 112,984 words in 106 rather short chapters. But still no title.

And Cloud Strife won the GameFaq competition.

So is that title (which, for anyone not sad enough to spot it, is the FFVII combat victory music) for you or for Cloud ?

Grats :)

By the way, I haven't lost, eaten, or forgotten Mourn's Gift. I'm just reading it slowly, since it's a bit big to get chucked in my bag and read on trains, which is my usual read-mode.

Sadly, that's only too true. It's a suitcase-sized book, I'm afraid.

Congratulations!

When can we read it? :)

I propose that those who were last in the queue for Mourn's Gift get higher priority for this second novel. It's only fair. He said hopefully ;)

I'll think about it. :-)

When it's gone through editing, re-write and binding.

Last time that took roughly eight months. This time, however, I'm hoping it will be nearer two or three (the editor is still [livejournal.com profile] bateleur, but I already own the WP package and know where the book-binder's is).

Hooray!

Congratulations and well done! I look forward to hearing all about it at the next Monde session ;-)

I'm rather hoping that you're bringing Mourn's Gift to the Monde session. I've sent Rhi an email, although I've not heard back yet.

She's on holiday at the moment, and notoriously bad about replying to email anyway, but I'll see if I can extract it from her.

WELL DONE!!!!
OK, I'll take off the caps lock now.
