This Doesn't Feel Like the Future

The second draft is completed up to the end of part two. About 140 pages, which is a good length. The full draft will be a little over 200, probably.

How is it going? Steadily. 

I finished Spaceman of Bohemia last night, and it's one of the most enjoyable science fiction novels I've ever read. It's so intricate and well-crafted, and it's written extraordinarily well. Certain passages in the book were so beautiful and evocative that I read them several times.

When I write, there are moments when I feel like a new astronomer with a crude telescope. I only see a fraction of what real astronomers do, but experiencing even that much astonishes me.
