And that is a wrap on the Zero Draft of DUALITY!

Why a 'Zero Draft' and not a 'First Draft'? Well, because this jumble of words is not yet worthy of the label 'First Draft.' It's a chaotic mess (and not in the intentional, book title "Chaotica" way). Scenes are in the wrong order - a LOT of scenes. They're clumped together all willy-nilly. Essential scenes are definitely missing, but I won't know what they are until I get the ones that exist in the *right* order. And until I do that, the narrative thread that runs from beginning to end and makes a novel a cohesive whole isn't in place yet. There are enough brackets to build the Empire State Building with.

BUT, all the scenes in my outline have been written. And that's over 108,000 words! Wowza. If you were expecting Duality to be a bit shorter, sorry to disappoint.

And I am now so, SO excited to whip this beast into shape and share the incredible conclusion to the Riven Worlds story with you all!
