The Third Quest Completed

 A long journey I have been through. Hard research that has swirled my head many times and worn my head into head aches. But at last it is complete. The first draft to my trilogy is now finished. With about three years of work, there are of course corrections I have to make and things I have to change as well as add in. But relief has come to me. An exhale of  relaxing. I have often heard that the relationships of the characters is what makes a story. I read accounts and letters from some of the more well known participants in my story and I began to feel that I knew them, the more I wrote about them. More than 3,500 pages has been written down on paper. That's a lot of work, not including all my research across the internet and in books about this story. The Final Journey, over 900 pages was the easiest of all the trilogy for me to write. I spent much time in other things during the process of working on it including open air preaching and it was yet the quickest of all my books to write. I started my third book on January 21, 2013, and completed it on September 18, 2013. I will eventually be going over the trilogy to rewrite it. Someday I would like to do a fourth book on King Richard's return to England, dealing with some of the same people that were in this trilogy, but that maybe far ahead of now. The good news is that the third book is now finished in it's first draft. The hard work a writing this trilogy now begins to smile at it's accomplishment!
