This Doesn't Feel Like the Future (Update)
After scrapping a significant portion of the first 1/3 of the book, I've almost finished the rewrites and have a whole book again. I wouldn't have done this while writing the first book because I didn't have enough confidence in my own ability, but I'm on surer ground this time (still shaky, but surer). Lots of work to go, but now I have a stable foundation.
Writing a book is a strange combination of intentionality on both a conscious and subconscious level. I do many things on purpose, but many of the best connections in the story aren't immediately apparent until I see the threads that were already placed there. My subconscious is the unseen hand guiding characters around the world.
It's about 60 pages, and in another week or so, I'll be looking for a few readers. I'll let you know when it's ready.
