Well, more or less. The second draft is finished and I'm really happy with it. It's amazing how outlining it the first time around gave me such an easy time of it (the only reason it took so long was procrastination, and that's the truth).
With that done, I'm shopping around for an editor and a cover designer and I've started on my next book (which may end up as a short story, but I'm not sure yet); the working title is The Forest at the End of the World. I can't really say what it's about right now; I'm still figuring it out myself. The title I've had for a while, but for something different that never panned out; the idea came to me suddenly not too long ago when I was frustrated with my lack of ideas. It seemed like all I could do was go around and around with old story ideas that had long ago lost their appeal but I couldn't let go of them. Well, I'm out of the rut now and hopefully The Forest ... won't take me two years to complete!
