So close :) Tomorrow or the next day. I just have to get Northumberland to surrender and be executed, throw Robert Dudley into the Tower, and have a final mystifying scene where it's revealed that the villain is not the person everyone thinks it is . . . but someone much closer to the throne.

And then go back to the beginning and fill in all those pesky continuity issues. If only I knew who I was going to kill when I started writing!
