3.5 weeks... 95,000 words... and multiple cans of Sprite later...
MY URBAN FANTASY IS DONE!
Ah!!! I'm so excited! I have finished my 4th manuscript and let me tell you I celebrated. Something about eating like a bucket of ice cream and about half my body weight in pasta or something... Haha!
It's been fun. I stressed. I laughed. I cried. But now it is done! What's next for me you may ask? Well, I plan on doing a read through for enjoyment and then tossing it to the side for about a week and editing another project. This is usually a routine with me. It's always good to put the work away for a while to recoup. Then you can look at it fresh and edit the hell out of it later!
And now, my friends, I give you a little sample. Now remember this is a first draft so it's pretty rough, but I just wanted to share.
I noticed that with my Lucky 7 entry and my original sample I shared with you a while back, I always seem to have my characters at each others throats. So today, you get one of those warm tender moments from them. They don't happen often so this is a rare treat for them, haha!

Hey, all! Took the sample down for polishing. Thanks to all who read for their input!
Laterz!
