In Which the Protagonist Tries Very Hard Not to Hate Her Book

Finishing up the edits to the POV chapters for one of my main characters in tDW, Auryn. His chapters and Roh’s chapters are the last in need of major overhauling (as usual). This is good because it means Lilihin, Zezili, and Anavha are done, and I refuse to touch them again until somebody tells me to rewrite them.

That’s how I’m getting through this, by telling myself I’m in the final stretch. Just these two sections of edits, input the edits, print the fucker, and send it back out into the world.

I can’t tell you how pleased I’ll be to get this thing out of my hands again. It’ll make concentrating on all my other projects a lot easier.

In the meantime, I’m reminded of why these two particular characters’ chapters are such a bitch to write.
