As Meatloaf sings For Crying Out Loud in my playlist, I just typed the very last line. And triple hashed it. First draft of the Prince Charming Hour is done.

Damn. What a ride. Feeling a little stunned and a little sad. 13 days, 115,548 words.

Think I know what I’ll be doing tomorrow. 😎

Broke one chapter into two, so I’m still two chapters from the end. Hurt my heart to write this last chapter. So painful for Talia and dammit, it made me cry to write it. All the balls are on the floor now. All hope seems lost and she’s struggling to stop it.

Gonna grab a PBJ. Can’t wait to write the next to the last chapter, but man…it’s just gonna break my heart to write this last chapter. I’m already tearing up just thinking about it.

Sucking it up to write what has to be written…

One and a half chapters from the end. The final sequence is in motion. The culmination of this whole book is unfolding. The climatic scene is a handful of sentences from my fingertips. And the the very last chapter.

Sooooo close…but dammit, I’m starting to fade. My brain’s struggling to process the words. And I’m only about 5K from the end.

Gonna have to give it up right here. And pick up the last 5K in a few hours after I’ve slept. And then finish this book.

Good morning to all you larks…crashing now.

Estimating that I’m about four or five chapters from the end. God, it’s so close I can feel it.

Can’t stop now…
