Looking back at last month’s Dispatch, I note that I was excited about starting work on the Unfinished Business sequel. Ha ha! That sure is a thing that didn’t happen. The Price of Thorns is (I may have mentioned) twice as long as a typical book of mine—well, okay, let’s say half again as long, since my median shades more toward 120K than 90K. It is currently the longest book I’ve written, at 180K words, and I failed to anticipate the entirely predictable consequence of writing a long-ass book, which is that all the steps of the editing process then
Wonderful dispatch, very informative, Thanks.
