I DID IT!

Obviously this is only the first draft but my God this feels good. Total word count comes in at 145,799

I’m now going to have the rest of October off, before coming back refreshed for the edits in November

Today’s delivery

Rather more in-depth than the previous book, but perhaps a less comprehensive inventory of the artefacts discovered. Either way, excited to read

Not thrilled with the repetition of “Red” - “red death”, “swirled with darkest red” - but want to avoid “crimson” or “scarlet”. And given that I’m talking about blood any comparison with blood is entirely redundant

Any ideas?

Delivered this very evening! Excited to dive in and learn more about the individual artefacts that were discovered in the mound

The aim is to mention every single one of them at least once throughout what I hope will be a series of novels
