June or Bust!
Jan. 3rd, 2007 09:30 pmBack in less stressed times, I made note of my finishing of the second draft of Brutal Light, aka "The Beast 2.0," aka "The Novel," aka "the bane of my existence." I quite optimistically suggested I'd start the third and final draft in mid-September, with an eye toward chucking it at an unsuspecting publisher's slush pile in mid-February.
Foolish Gary. Silly Gary. Life applied the smack-down to my person, and suddenly it is early January 2007. WTF, I say. WTF.
But I am still here. My fingers, as it turns out, still work.
The third and final draft is begun. "The Beast 3.0" lives. I will take no further breaks until I have handed it over in a nicely sealed package to the gentle mercies of the U.S. Postal Service. And if I miss my self-imposed deadline of the end of June 2007, you all have my permission to come over to my house and kick me in a location where I should not like to be kicked. Which is pretty much anywhere, so you choose.
For those of you who are beta-readers, I will keep the online pages with the second draft up and available. If you have lost your instructions on how to find them, e-mail me or comment below, and I'll re-send them.
