Almost done with first draft!

I'm working on chapter 25 now of the 28 chapter book. It's been speeding right along, as far as first drafts go. I've been checking out options for once it's finalized in December and publication ready. One option is to try to find a literary agent, although some estimates I've found say it takes a year and a half from finding one to actual print. The primary trouble I have with this relates to publisher use of materials that aren't recycled. I could go with print on demand, but that's also an issue. I found a printer who uses 100 percent recycled materials if requested, and is powered by wind energy. As The Vigil is (in part) about climate change and the polar bears, it's important to me to be as consistent as possible and use materials that do not adversely impact the planet. So I may go that route when the time comes. Another option is to go the ebook route.

Writing

I've been busy writing without really hitting any blocks, so I'm up to chapter 16 now! I'm writing at home, on the train, on the bus...if I could write while I sleep, I probably would. I think I'm on schedule for finishing this by Fall Equinox!!!
