I spent the morning reviewing / revising what I've written and sorted out the rope problem along the way. Now I'm closing in on the end of chapter seven. I need to start thinking about a couple of proposals I promised one of my editors, but at this point getting as deep into this novel as I possibly can is priority one. I'd like the rough of it finished by the end of this month, mid-September at the latest. Then I'll be able to start having fun with revisions.

Yes, fun. Revising is always fun (sometimes a bit frustrating, but mostly not) because this is where you get to tinker. The basic story is there; this is just noodle time, time to make it better, time to try and make the words sing on the page.

First word on We Are One is positive; glowing, in fact. I'm holding my breath in anticipation of the first "big" review notices.
