1st Draft Finished

Huraah!

The first draft is complete :)

Sent this through to the project coordinator, whose response was: "Thanks for that. I'll soon be sending you through chapters for rewrites".

Boo!

... I really didn't like the sound of the word "rewrites" ;(

More excitingly, my publishers have set up a competition for cover artwork. Check out...

Do you have any ideas for an eyecatching photograph? Looking in the thesaurus for "convert" I came up with metamorphose, mutate, transfigure, transform, translate, transmogrify, transmute, transpose. So I was thinking of trying to get a closeup of a butterfly with shimmery wings. My family are currently hunting around our locals woods for a baby oak tree. I'm sure you've got your own great ideas, and if you have remember there's a $100 prize.
