The Battle of the Bastards was run by idiots - or - why the Game of Thrones has stupid fight scenes
The Joys of Editing

The end is in sight!

This week I finished the rough draft of Book Three.

The trilogy is finally done!

I still have some work to do on tidying it up and resolving some minor plot points, but all the heavy lifting is done.  I can now focus on getting Book One ready to publish.

On the one hand, I'm a bit burned out, and editing is tedious work.  I miss being able to sit down and just write a scene or two.

On the other hand, it's a great feeling knowing that I finished what I started.  I wrote a trilogy!  How cool is that?

For those that are curious, Book One is longer than Battle Officer Wolf and each successive book gets longer still.  All told, it's pretty close to 200,000 words.

Not bad for someone with two jobs and a family.

I'm hoping to get Book One (A Man of Destiny) our in August, beyond that we'll see how things go.  I'm trying not to think too far ahead.   I'm tempted to just take it easy, but I want to at least get the first book out there.  After that I'll start to relax.
