How to translate "coming along?"

Question

I was recently writing a letter to a Chinese colleague and wanted to wish her luck on a book she is writing. In essence, I wanted to say

I hope your book is coming along well.

Unfortunately, I wasn't sure how to translate this. Perhaps one might say

我希望你的书进展得很好。

but this doesn't have the same meaning.

How might one translate this sentence?

consider using 祝? the sentence is a wish written on a letter. — HYC, Commented Oct 14, 2015 at 11:11
希望您的新书进展顺利。希望您的新书写得顺利。 — John, Commented Oct 30, 2015 at 6:41

我祝愿您的书能顺利完成。
It literally means "I wish your book will be completed as planned". I hope this translation matches your meaning well.

I hope your book is coming along well. more spoken: 希望你的书写得很顺利。 Official：希望你的书创作得很顺利。

You can also use these sentences: 希望你的大作早日完稿。 Hope that your master piece can be finished soon. 希望早日读到你的大作。 Hope to read your book soon.
