cruising on into that dark night
Okay, so getting back on the horse works.
(A highly metaphorical horse, anyway.)
And I think that I know what I am doing up to 60k. At which point all bets are off, but hey, that's half the fun of this game, right? Headlights are on, I can see ten feet ahead of me, so I'm just going to keep cruising into that dark night.
Sometimes I suspect this novel is not very marketable. I plan to revise it anyway, and do all the other things associated with trying to get a novel published, because it's a good exercise whatever else happens. And I will start another novel, potentially right after I finish this one and potentially later on, and work on that one, too.
And I will learn things and get better with every novel I write and revise and send out. (This is a writer's mantra, I think. Or one of mine, at least.)
