NewBook I is on the way again…I emailed it to my agent yesterday and he got it (confirmation email, yay!)\u00a0 so there’s that.\u00a0 I took the rest of the afternoon off for a walk outside and horse chores.<\/p>\n
Today I opened NewBook II’s file.\u00a0 You may recall that it is\/was a little over 20K word, enough that I thought its engine would keep turning over and it would be warmed up, ready to rumble, when I got back to it several months later.\u00a0\u00a0 That *could* have been the case but…NewBook I had some serious revision work after I had set NewBook II aside.\u00a0 The intended seamless flow from I to II now…isn’t seamless.\u00a0 The pieces of story don’t fit together at all, and there’s no way to just pour in some “story epoxy” to fix it. \u00a0 NewBook I is definitely better for the revision changes, so NewBook II needs\u00a0 to be revised (already!!!) to be the continuation of the “real” story.<\/p>\n
This isn’t how it went with the first Paks series.\u00a0\u00a0 Change is inevitable.\u00a0\u00a0 II will get its revision before I go forward.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, ”tis the season of the annual Wildlife Management Report and my plan is to spend the most time on that, with an hour a day on NewBook II.\u00a0\u00a0 II may get shoved aside if the required report isn’t getting done fast enough.\u00a0 I’m slower than I used to be.\u00a0 And I need to spend the time to buy a new printer.<\/p>\n
