I'm thrilled to report that the first draft of Book 4 - HAWAII! Pineapple Peril is complete! It's been a long time coming, because I kept getting interrupted.
However, as I reviewed my writing calendar pages from January to August, I only counted eleven weeks of work, which is about what it takes. So, in a way, I was right on target, just not working consistently every day.
Next task is to read it through - today or tomorrow - and see how much editing has to be done.
Happy Labor Day weekend!
