The Upside Of The Update
Just in case you missed it, I did a The Wall Of Night #4 update last week, where I mentioned completing Revision task #4 (of 7), which comprised revising a significant chunk of the manuscript, aka “the zigzag.”
Sometimes, on completing a milestone in any project, I find there can be a slight dip in energy and mood afterward, as one reflects on “what next.”
Revising “the zigzag” was a significant piece of work so I was feeling that “dip” after writing the update — but then I recalled that the next section (which also has a nickname, but “redacted” as Murderbot would say in System Collapse :D) not only marked a major turning point in the completion of this story but was a blast to write.
So instead of the “dip” I found myself contemplating the upside of the update, which is not only starting afresh but returning to material that I already know is pivotal to the story.
Onward! (As Kate, the series editor, likes to say. :D)
