I am deep in there, in the book. I still don’t really know what the title really means. I’ve got one more chapter to find out. It’s a fat draft, about 82k words. Fat for me. I have been working for so long on it that I really hope it earns those words. It is digressive– I am definitely pushing it with digression– but I cut it back a lot this time through– I’m pretty sure there were 30-50 pages I cut along the way– may have replace some of it, anyhow… and I have asked the person I want to read the draft if she will read it and she will. I don’t want to rush it. But it’s like reading the end of a great novel you love, writing the end. If I go too fast I’ll ruin it. But I want to go fast. What else to report? Nothing. All I want to do is watch tv so I can go to bed so I can get up and have my brain back. What else. Oh I finished a book and had fun reading it! Been a long time, feels like. Threw the one before it across the room when it killed a dog as it’s first plot move in 80 pages. Anyhow Dances With Snakes– Horacio Castellanos Moya– it’s like reading Machete — and all about how it lands in the end– and a whole portrait of a society as you rampage. Was thinking “where are children in my book and in what form” and in Dances if I remember correctly there are NO children in ANY form.
