Life in a Northern Town

I wrote 7000 words on the novel today. Combined with yesterday’s 3800 words … I actually have a draft of the second novel in the urban fantasy series.

It’s not exactly complete. The plot of this one has been a mess, and there are big holes where I simply summarized what was supposed to go there without actually writing it, along with large scenes (and possibly whole chapters) that are going to need to be removed, moved somewhere else, or completely rewritten from scratch.

But I finally have the end, and I think it’s a darn solid end, too. I feel good about it. I got all the characters where I want them, and the character relationships where I want them. And best of all, I’ve finally gotten down the part that I was having the most trouble with: the final battle. It might not be easy getting everything to fall into place from here, but I have an ending I like, and that’s a big thing.
