We Can Almost Taste It

We’ve been plotting the Ghost Series for some time now — much longer than we realized, as it turns out. A quick tour through our Friday posts shows that we first mentioned the plot rainbow in mid-February (!). That’s a full 8 months ago, and we’d already been hammering away at it before we told you about it.

Today we’re pleased to say we’re allllmost done. A few weeks ago we targeted November 1 for packing up Book 4’s rainbow and moving on to the next stage in the process. We’re pretty confident we could have reached that deadline with ease if family trips and Primus concerts and family trips to Primus concerts hadn’t intruded. So we’ll just blame our children (and Les Claypool) and wrap it up as soon as we can. You can’t rush these things. Like a pregnancy, it takes as long as it takes, and — also like a pregnancy — that seems to be about 9 months. We’ll have the Writing Cave to ourselves again this weekend. With a roaring fire and enough Halloween chocolate we might actually reach our goal.

A writing partner is someone who helps the time fly by.
