Congratulations to the winners, and thanks so much to all who entered!
If you didn't win, don't worry. I'll probably be giving away some more finished copies in the next couple of weeks, leading up to the release. And My Soul To Steal is already up for pre-order just about everywhere!
In other news...my December is totally made of crazy this year. It's like life has decided I don't have enough balls to juggle already, so it tossed on a few more. So here I stand, feet spread for balance, gamely tossing balls back up in the air, trying to watch everything all at once, knowing I'm going to drop something and dreading the moment it smashes on the ground.
Chief among those (at least, at this point) is finishing the rough draft of my new adult novel. Regarding plot, I'm almost done. There's nothing left but the big reveal (in the middle of that now, and boy is it a doozy), the big fight scene, and the denouement (the final clarification or resolution of a plot ). Then the first draft will be done. But it will gain words on the rewrites, when I add the bits of worldbuilding that still need to be blended in and that one scene I've put off writing for a month.
Right now, I'm at the point in the big reveal where Big Things are being revealed (not just explained) to one (baaaaad) character by one of the viewpoint characters, and I'm not really sure in what order the details should come. So for now, I'm just throwing them in there and hoping I'll have the clarity to sort it all out later. That's sometimes how the first draft goes.
So far, here's where it stands.
85,497 / 100,000
(85.5%)

Yesterday was insane (rush, rush, rush!) so I only made half my wordcount. Must do much better than that today. Wish me luck!
