chapter up

[owlmoose]

AGL 39 is up, here.

Most of this chapter, about the first three-quarters, has been drafted for a long time. Months and months. In fact, I believe I wrote it before I even started on my part of The Confessional. So this has been awhile in the making. Compared to most things I write far ahead, this piece has stayed essentially intact -- I added some things and cut one partial scene, but for the most part it is unchanged from the original draft, just tightened and broadened and polished.

The next chapter is also almost finished, and large portions of the chapter following are drafted as well. We may get a few in quick succession here. Then again, we may not, with holidays and travel getting in the way. I'll have to see how my time shakes out.

It is hard to put out into the world for all to see and throw brickbats at the cherished child of one's creative energies. I am only teasing you. I do understand how empty you will feel to have it, as it were, out of the nest. We pour so much of ourselves into these things - if we are doing them right. I have an almost audible tearing when something I have laboured over is finally shoved out the door. I guess we must simply live with the realization that we are shaving bits of ourselves away when we write seriously. I think it is worth it and so, I suspect, do you. :-)
