Well. That’s it. The troll book is done.
I mean really done. The fourth rewrite is finished. Everything makes sense. I do have to proofread and chop a bit. But it’s done. Comes in at 56.5K, a respectable YA length.
Seems like that took a long time. This one didn’t come easy. I will get it to the people who want it right now. Finally.
As I now ascribe to the Patrick Rothfuss school of revision, it’s going out there, but the feedback loop will be ongoing until I either trunk it or an editor gets in touch with it.
And that’s pretty much all I feel the need to say today. Because I’m done.

Congratulations!
I am proud and jealous.
Yippie! Done, done, I say.
Sean, thanks for the pride. You don’t get to be jealous unless anything happens with it. Then you can envy away.
Thanks, both of you. It’s been a really long haul, this one.

If only there were a way to write these things faster.
