I’ve just now finished my most recent revision on Mirable Chalice, and I feel relatively pleased with it. We’ll see if I still feel that way when I do a full read-through this weekend! Then it will go back to my editor to see if I fixed the things I was trying to fix. Meanwhile, I will start something brand new!

It took me a while to get rolling on this revision, in part because of various life interruptions (guests, vacations, an annoying cold) and in part because I think I was a bit overloaded on it. I find that I do need time away from my projects as much as I need dedicated time working on them, or it starts to feel like a bitter slog. But this last week things began to flow again and I got wrapped up in the story and the characters, and that really is the best feeling.
