I finished my novel yesterday. This is the main reason for the lack of updates to this blog, for which I apologize, but I really needed to take the time to sit down and do this.
Still not sending it to the agents, but that will come… soon.
For now just a short update on the technical specifications of Mind the Gap:
Chapters: 49 + Prologue
Total Word Count: 133694
We celebrated by ordering pizza with everything and I am still riding on a high of adrenaline and euphoria. I can not put into words how good it feels to be done with that part of the work. We both got a really good feeling about this book.
Anyway: I promise to keep you posted on the progress from now on. Expect to hear more soon.

It will BE, of course… QW signs out for a deserved rest.
Congrats from me as well! That’s a lot of words, but I’m sure it will smooth and very, very pleasant reading. š
@ Museum’s Guard: Thank you!
@PAK: Damn you, that was my idea for the sequel. Now I need to think of something else. Mhm… maybe a talking octopus…
Make it 80 chapters, 60,000 words, and write in something about a talking dog. People like that. And give it a happy ending. That’ll sell.
(Or alternatively,
This book has neither sense, nor sensibility, nor sea-monsters. What, did you write 130,000 words about your feelings, woman?)
That’s absolutely great news (congratulations)! I am very much looking forward to reading this book. Please do keep us posted.
