Dude, you have the most interesting brain.

My first thought was "Damn, that's a huge cast! I should hope somebody could write a compelling story about that many people--oh, wait."

About a chapter(or two) from finishing the second draft of novel.It's good in places, not terrible overall--I mean, after about two years I wish I were totally in love with it, but it's long and it actually has a beginning, middle, and end, which were stumbling blocks in the past.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Go erika! Finishing the second draft and not hating it thoroughly sounds pretty awesome to me.

There are bits that I might hate later, but mostly not. It's just that, for the time I spent, I wish it were spectacular(but it might get there, still, right?) Yeah, I'm pleased.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Finishing the second draft is huge, erika!

Because books.
It is huge, erika! And you may feel differently about it after you let it rest for a while. Work on something else for a bit or read something of a completely different genre, and give your brain a break.
I was out to dinner with fellow local writers tonight, and I can't even say how good it was for me. Whenever I'm with other writers, it always recharges me. I need to do it more.
To sum up: Writers groups for everyone! They're a good thing!
