It Holds Up
Jun. 29th, 2004 03:14 pmYeah! After not reading chapter one of Shivery Bones since Feb '03 I read it today. It fricking holds up. Sure, it needs language twiddles, but it works! Huzzah!
I'm sure there will be troubled days ahead. Every novel I've ever written (3) has had a boggy middle in desperate need of landfill, and there are plot thingumies which need straightening out, but as of today the future is golden. (Okay, maybe that looks more yellow than golden, but you get the point, I'm sure.)
I may actually be able to pull this off. I may actually be able to send this sucker out by the end of summer. Hey, fall's always been my time of year and since summer solstices and autumn equinoxes play an important part in that novel, there's something rather symbolic about doing The Rewrite at this time of year. Maybe it's a sign?
Maybe I shouldn't get ahead of myself? Yeah, that's a good idea.
