🚀The Dark Age: There goes another orbit
Hello, friends!
I’m sitting here in my study at the tail end of a week’s vacation. Our family’s still taking COVID precautions, so we didn’t travel anywhere (and anyway, Squish had school). Instead, I’ve spent the last week moving The Dark Age nearer a finished second draft.
And, happily, as of two days ago, that draft is done.
A second draft isn’t perfect. It’s not ready to send to editors just yet; there’s a lot more polishing and tightening and sharpening to be done. But it is a solid enough draft to start sharing with a few key people, who can read it and tell me where the narrative falters, or where my characters are clearly behaving according to plot gravity instead of their own emotional throughlines.
