At the end of last year I finished a draft of a follow-up to my novella Polymer. Polymer was both very weird and also weirdly easy to write, and it’s been pretty agonizing that I haven’t been able to catch that same wave of inspiration to complete Violetgold.

But I’m chipping away at it. Little revelations now and then are keeping me going. I want to get back into the habit of working on it every day, so I’m going to try to write a post here after each revising session to say how it went. Won’t necessarily be that interesting, but if you happen to feel like following along as I do this, feel free!

I got back from a few weeks of travel yesterday, and this morning typed up the few pages I handwrote on the road. This chapter has been something of a block to me and I’m not totally sure why, but I think I can climb over it soon.
