Another draft of Necali’s Domain is finished. I wanted to get it done before I went to Chicago for Sammy’s birth, but I just missed the mark. I think one more start-to-finish revision will do it. And then the endless final polishing that never seems to be done. I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve gone through it, the number of characters that have been changed or deleted, the honing of the storylines. It’s been quite a journey. One of these days I should track down the original first draft, just to see how much it’s changed and how far it’s grown.
The sequel is already mapped out in my mind and I’ve started putting notes to paper. It’ll be a much faster production than this first book, now that the characters and storylines are solid. Thanks to Emily Clymer and Dave Lokken for taking on the rough draft, and I’m sorry to have to put you through yet another one!
