The author declares a draft

[rolanni]

It’s short, full of holes, and messy.  It also needs at least two sub-lines lain in before I can properly finish the Thrilling Conclusion.  Therefore!

Ladies and gentlefriends, we have a draft!

Ghost Ship, First Draft

85,285 words/100,000

What happens next is that I compile the chapters, print out and read the whole thing, inasmuch as there is a “whole thing,” note the places where those lines need to be lain, do that, then print out the new “whole thing” and do a rolling edit.

What happens before any of that, though, is that I fall on my nose.

At last I may atone, in some slight measure, For the repeated acts of theft and pillage
Which, at a sense of duty's stern dictation, I, circumstance's victim, have been guilty!
Gotta love Frederic.
