Two Major Milestones Reached!

Two days ago I finished Part 2 of my book (around page 270), and have begun writing Part 3, the last and most exciting part that will end with a big finish somewhere about page 400.

Not that Part 2 was anything to ho-hum about, as I try very hard to make each scene have enough action, tension, and suspense to keep the pages turning. The mini-climax at the end of Part 2 (chapter 25) was very challenging to write, and was a good test of my skills and how well I will handle the end of the book. After some great vetting by my family and my Senior Editor (my wife!), I was able to smooth out a few rough spots and come away with one of the more spectacular chapters in the book.

Also, I have just passed the 100,000 word mark, which kind of blows me away. How long would it take to count up to 100,000? Would I even make it? Yes, I have now written (and re-written) 1/10th of a million words. Wow, and glory to God for His endurance!

I am now at 68% with an expected finish date of June 15th.
