On July 4th, while many Americans were celebrating our country's Independence Day, I not only celebrated that, I also finished the third (and final?) novel in the Shadowkill trilogy, titled Storming The Hill.
I started it on 3/19/2017
I finished it on 7/4/2017
Total days is 108
The novel came out at 69,916 words, averaging 647 words per day.
Unfortunately, there were 30 zero word days. Over half could be attributed to our son's graduation and the vacation to Tennessee, even though I still could've found a few minutes here and there to write. That's something I'll have to revisit down the road.
When I take the actual writing days into account, which were 78, my average words per day rose to 896.
I'm budgeting the next two months to edit the final two books, prepare covers, write the blurbs and product descriptions, research keywords. I haven't decided if I will do any pre-orders or not. I also feel I will publish this on all platforms. I won't make these Amazon exclusive.
So, what's next?
No worries, I'm already brainstorming what to do next. I have at least three short stories I may publish in the meantime--while I work on books 2 and 3--so there will always be something I'm working on.
