Just a quick update for those curious (there are one or two of you out there, right?!): I’m still around and working hard.

I believe I noted before this week was going to be a difficult one for me as I have to stretch myself out a little thinner than usual and cover people who are actually off (enjoy yourselves!).

I’m still working extra hard -at any available moment!- on my latest novel and should finish the 7th draft by Friday.  Then it’s off to draft #8.

The novel is coming along nicely although I’m thinking after the next full draft I may focus on some 30 or so pages in the climax and give them a little extra attention.  This is a very ambitious book and features, I believe, some really wild stuff but I need to be careful that what’s in my mind is accurately presented on the page.

Onwards!
