The collaborative novel remains ahead of schedule and we have now completed a complete 'read through' of all the chapters written to date. We did pick up quite a number of 'typos' as you would expect from the editing process and there are some tweaks to be made but nothing major.
This leaves only the final chapter and our creative team is now working on the conclusion to our story.
We were relieved to hear from our writer in Manila after the severe storms in that part of the world. When this is all over, we should draw up a list of the catastrophes that have affected our writing team through the course of one year on this great planet.

September and the climax!
With 23 chapters under our belt, the final '24' is now under way and it promises to be a real cliff hanger!
One or two of the team are waning - it's been a long hall - but the others are picking up the workload and driving on to the end. It's been a fantastic effort and when I read the manuscript I can't believe it's been created by so many hands.
Over the coming weeks our entire focus will be on finishing and then going over our work to ensure we haven't missed anything.
Then the next stage begins and we will start to look earnestly for a publisher!

Some interesting stats from our project!
Would you believe that in the seven months (yes, just seven months!) since we first started this project a staggering 76,731 page views have taken place in the forum alone. Unlike open websites every one has been about our project!
There have been a total of 4,301 posts in 221 topics and, on average, 360 page views take place every day.
It might also surprise you to know that an average of 20 posts take place every day.
The one interesting stat I don't have at hand is how many hours in total have been spent online working on The Book, but I can reveal that just under 1,000 hours (933) have been dedicated by the top ten contributors alone! That's the equivalent 25 full-time working weeks so far.
And this is just the Forum so work offline researching, writing, editing or in the Wikis isn't included in these numbers!
What a truly splendid effort and little wonder that such a brilliant manuscript is being created.
Just another 8 1/2 months to go!
