Grinding
I finished an edit of section three of This Doesn't Feel Like the Future today.It's not complete--I have at least two more passthroughs in this draft--but it's starting to feel alive, which takes a long time.
I need to finish this by the 20th because all hell breaks loose then. We'll only be for three days in the next twelve after that.
Once we get to Queens and things settle down a bit--probably by mid-September or a little later--I can start working on the first section.
If things go as planned, there should be a very advanced draft by the end of the year. "Advanced" meaning one or two drafts from being finished.
It's better than I ever thought it could be, and it's not nearly good enough yet.
Novels are long, long roads.
