The first draft of my latest manuscript is now roughed out in full. Whew.
Working Title: The Cleaners: Enter the Janitor
Word Count: 82k
Genre: Fantasy
Elevator pitch (this will no doubt change): A janitor who works for a supernatural sanitation department gets a new apprentice whose powers trigger natural disasters wherever she goes.
This is one of my shorter stories, but I still had a ton of fun writing it. First cooks, now janitors. What next? Now to stick it in a mental drawer for a week or two before the revision and feedback process starts.
I see that smile.
Congratulations! It must feel good to have the rough draft done. By the way, the strange taxidermy was disturbing =).
