I am almost done with the dermatologist diversion [stitches out/freezing to come] and we're having a strange weather condition here in Phoenix known as rain.
In other words, I'm being driven in-doors.
Where the files and the banker's boxes play.
And there's also the issue of writer's sloth.
Yesterday began a detailed review of the draft of my second novel.
Many months ago, I placed it on the shelf in order to complete Pilate's Magician.
My biggest "novel" chore right now involves reacquainting myself with the characters and deciding upon the correct tone.
The first part is easy. The second one is crucial.
And then, unless there is a mega-surprise, the book will go through multiple drafts.
I am more of a re-writer than a writer.
Nicholas Bate has been a major inspiration. The man is truly amazing. If you haven't read any of his novels, I recommend beginning with Pierre Lambert, Detective.
