Illumination is done, sort of

I finished up the "first draft" of Illumination today. I put "first draft" in quotes because I edit as I go, so the book is already in fair to middling shape. There is still a lot of work to be done on it, though. It wound up a bit over 19,000 words, but because I usually expand as I edit, it will probably wind up over 20,000. I will work at it hard the rest of the week and this weekend, and hopefully put it up on Monday.

I also wrote quite a bit on Gambit last night. That one's coming along well, too. I don't usually write heroes who are such total bastards, but I have to admit, I'm beginning to see the appeal of the alpha male. Between Griffin and Dom, I'm starting to develop a taste for alphas!
