Pulling The Plug

[poliphilo]

I stare at my two year old novel in disbelief. I wrote this? The horror, the horror! It's broke all the way through, unfixable. Then the heroine, who's taking a bath, reaches out for the chain with her toes and pulls the plug. And suddenly she's alive again and I can write dialogue for her and the old joy-in-creation has returned.

It's good news. It was only the beginning that didn't work. I've cut about 2,000 words, added bits here and there and things are looking OK. I think the bulk of the novel will need very little revision.

A sequel to Paradise Lost? Oh my!
