See the Man With the Blue Guitar, Maybe One Day He'll Be a Star
Book. Is. Finished.
It's drafty, to the extent where if I was to hold it up to your ear you could probably hear it whistle. But it's a thing to work with, and I know what most of the stuff is that needs fixing.
I was curious as to how long this took, and since I'm horrible at keeping track of things I went looking back through the blog. It looks like I must have started in early August. So, about eight months, during most of which time I was still working part-time. For some reason I thought I'd started later, but this makes more sense. If you're hoping for a word count, I don't have one, 'cause most of it is still just longhand. Much typing in my future.
Oh man, it feels good to be done. Now I will sleep.
P.S. This is the new, unsold book, just to forestall any confusion. We start edits on Superpowers hopefully next week-ish.

"Drafty" opens up a whole world of revision-as-insulation metaphors. Plot caulk, anyone? :)

I would be a loyal customer for Plot Caulk. A spokesman, even.
