With Ultramassive I've felt far more comfortable in general which made last Saturday's mini-crisis notable enough to generate a post. By contrast Winter Song was much more like a roller-coaster, since for the first three months of writing it, we were fighting a losing battle to nursemaid our springer through illness. When we had to concede to the inevitable, the novel became my way of shutting that out. Sharon,

How does writing this book compare to the others you've written? This will be the fourth book I've 'observed' you write. Would be interested to know. And, yes, I still owe you a crit. Hopefully, by Tuesday, latest. Would suggest that perhaps each book deserves its own metaphor? How does writing this book compare to the others you’ve written?

I've looked at that mile high wall a few times, and redrafted the plot to try and build some kind of ladder. It's a horrible feeling. I just keep telling myself, every word I write is a word closer to the end... Well said! I’ve looked at that mile high wall a few times, and redrafted the plot to try and build some kind of ladder.
