Woke up, got dressed, didn't go to work. Working on novel 3. As much as I play with it, it still seems like I'll need at least another year to finish. Once I've written through all the places that have "xxx" in them and "fill in here," and expanded and shaded in the description and characters and cut and added, there are still a few boring scenes that are there now to explain what's going on that eventually will just be dead weight. It'd be nice to have something finished soon, but one of the things you come to realize after being published is that if you really want to make your creation as good as it can be, do everything you can BEFORE you hand it off, because once it's on that conveyor belt you won't have ages to refine it anymore.
