I should have done this a long time ago. By starting work in earnest on a new project and getting myself neck-deep in client work, I’ve managed to unblock myself on Bones of the Angel. Since I was in Ohio two weeks ago, I’ve written fifty pages’ worth of new material and plowed almost three quarters’ worth of the way into Act Two, not to mention pencilled in the outlines of Act Three and introduced the last of the characters I’m going to need to get me through the end of this baby. I know what the climax of Act Two is going to be, and I know how to get to the climax of Act Three, which is a visual that I’ve been carrying around in my head since 1999. If I can keep going like this, I might have the novel finished by Halloween. Rock on!
