Finished the first pass of GRACE yesterday, hence my late letter this week. I hesitate to call it a draft, yet. It kind of looks like the house above – windows missing, a roof that needs to be unsagged, bricks that need to be hammered out and replaced … but man, it could be great!
After I hit send on this letter I’m going to perform the small yet momentous task of moving it from my usual writing app into a Word document (the standard currency in publishing). This week I’ll be reading over the manuscript and plotting out the work that needs to be done next, in order to get it to that stage – to a readable first draft. It still doesn’t have a real title yet, but I trust that one will come, on its own time.
