can haz yays!
Jun. 3rd, 2009 06:25 amThe author-draft of PACK OF LIES (2.2) is done. For 'reasonably sure Madame Editrix is going to hand me back an entire packet of revisions notes' levels of done. And only a month late. *sigh*
This book has been kicking my ass. I know why it did so -- the plot is a triggery one that will piss off many readers, the sub-plot is going to piss off the more Twu Womance readers out there, and the villains are all, well, not exactly wearing black hats, and the obvious villains...aren't. But I think I finally got a death-grip on the problem areas, and I'm actually quite satisfied with the way it turned out. I really do love Bonnie, and am constantly amazed while writing her how very different she is from Wren -- and yet people will doubtless claim that she too is me. Some of her inevitably is. But lord, not much. Oy.
Now to see what Madame Editrix thinks (see above comment). Then I have to figure out exactly what's going to happen in Book 3. But I have a little time for that, yet.
New Book will begin in 5...4...3...
