Some of you know that I published my first novel earlier this year. Although it seems to have been well-received and well-reviewed, I’ve taken upon myself, for reasons I’m sure I’ll explain in months to come, a very extensive rework of its second half. I feel like a sculptor who labored for months on a marble elephant and then decided that it really should be a giraffe instead. It’s quite an undertaking, and in some ways harder than doing it the first time, but as the picture below indicates, my new outline for this sucker is quite extensive (plus, the project gives me something peaceful to do while I wait out this stupid bull market).
