Still working on the conclusion, but its coming along. Maybe another push this weekend will finish things off.
There's something about a food that moves all by itself that gives me the heebie-jeebies.

Also, I added my map to my blog. It's very exciting, well, not so much for anyone that's not me.
I Play a Writer on the Internet
I need to do better blog entries, but I'm always in a hurry when I write them. Maybe I'll do better when I'm refining instead of rewriting. Right now I'm grinding away without really trying to improve the quality of the writing and learning more bits of craft.
If anyone has a blog you'd like me to link to, let me know so that my literally ones of readers can know about it.

Because books.
Gud, I keep meaning to say, considering you wrote it and are already almost done rewriting it, a year is not long at all. You're being methodical and very dedicated, and that's awesome.
Meanwhile, I just asked my editor for a short extension on my deadline, and am feeling Made of Fail. And waiting for a reply.

I think I'm impatient to get from rewriting everything to refining and polishing. I've learned a lot since I've started. I don't think I have much talent with graceful prose, but it strikes me now that in a novel that's just one component of the whole. There's plotting, dialogue, scene-construction, characterization, and succinctness. I've started to believe I can produce a decent book despite not being a great wordsmith.

Shut up.
You're not Made of Fail. You're trying to give her the best product possible.
So... shut up.

I know, it just feels that way.
You want to read what I have so far, just for general impressions?

Sure, send away.

Who has two thumbs and a completed revision?
Okay, I still have a little clean-up and read-through to do on the final chapters and the epilogue, but the rewriting is done for this round.
Now for editing, chopping, some new scenes in places, adverb killing, and other fun things.

Way to go, Gudanov!

Thanks. It's exciting to get past another step.
