See the Man With the Blue Guitar, Maybe One Day He'll Be a Star

[snurri]

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.

OMG i saw this post last night when I got home and i was really drunk and I wanted to write something absurd but then I thought to myself, "no meghan. stop harassing Dave on his blog."

that is so awesome that you're done. Though can I admit i'm also totally jealous? I've gotten nothing done since the desert at all. you're gonna let me read it, right?

You love that word, absurd. :-P I encourage you to drink 'n comment anytime. It's the stuff that Internet humiliations are made of!

I'm sorry to have made you jealous. Console yourself with the fact that I am a jobless bum and therefore have ridiculous amounts of time for writing, while you are a fine upstanding citizen with the minds of our youth in your care.

And I totally want you to read it! But it needs lots o' fixing first.
