FINISHED BOOK FIVE OF THE OHIO SERIES!!!

No, I didn’t plan this. I thought I had another three weeks of writing to hit the end.

Yesterday, I was galloping along, and I’d planned to pick up today with the logical continuation of the scene I wrote yesterday, where my characters were in trouble…

And when I loped back into the office this morning to pick up where I left off, brain said, “Here, little writer. Here you go… have this spiffy bait…”

And I followed along, and the scene did not go where I expected. It went someplace so much better, and surprised me, and made me laugh…

And all of a sudden, in 2,000-ish words, the ending was right there. And it was the RIGHT ending.

So now I’m taking the weekend off.

I have five novels.

I’ve already read and revised the first one. The other four have been sitting on my hard drive, waiting for me to finish the first drafts so I can revise them all at once, and make sure I’m consistent with the changes I make…

Which means re-reading Book One before I do anything else, and then working off of that as I do four back-to-back revisions.

    Late to the party (again) but mega congratulations, Holly! My brain would be ‘bruised’ if I went through what you’ve just done. Can’t wait to read the whole series.

      It’s been a lot of fun to write. I’m letting ideas for more books perk in the back of my mind during my down time.

        About like everybody else after the last two and a half years. Some stuff is great, some stuff is weird, some stuff is still a struggle. But all in all, life‘s pretty good. I’m still slogging away at being a working actor, with varied success. The most exciting news is that I just got a new hip! Makes me feel old to say it, but the return of my mobility makes me feel wonderfully young! If you get a minute to breathe, I’d love to catch up sometime. I’m still at the same email since 1989. Really! Ha! Much love and best wishes!!
