Hey everyone, how’s it going?<\/p>\n

I wanted to share with you the immense joy I feel because I just wrote the word “The End” in the manuscript of my third novel. It’s a wonderful feeling knowing that a year of hard work has crystallized into a coherent story, one that now has a beginning, middle, and end. When it’s published in March, you’ll be the ones to tell me if you think it’s better, the same, or worse than the previous two (even after spending hundreds of hours locked away alone with it, it still captivates me).<\/p>\n

What comes next is a very similar process to the one I went through with *The Submerged Secret* and *Where I Buried Fabiana Orquera*. The first step is giving it to Trini, my partner, who reviews it and returns it to me covered in red scribbles. Once I’ve incorporated all her comments, I send it to a list of “beta readers” (friends and family, whom I ask for brutal honesty). As they give me their suggestions, I revise and reread, revise and reread, until I feel I can’t improve it any further. That’s when I publish it.<\/p>\n

There’s still a lot of work to do before the novel is released in March. The title is missing, the cover is missing, and above all, many hours of revision are needed. But I wanted to take these five minutes to forget about all that and enjoy the fact that the draft is finally finished.<\/p>\n

Well, I’ll leave you now and get back to typing, as I still have more than half the chapters to revise before I can give them to Trini.<\/p>\n

Big hug!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
