That whooshing sound you hear...

Is my deadline sailing past overhead. The Bone Palace is now officially late. Luckily my benevolent editor has given me the rest of the month, so the deathmarch continues.

The moral is, if you suspect you won't be able to make a deadline from the get-go, ask for another month. Unless the moral is really that I need a basement full of enslaved ghost-writers... That's a thought too.

Also luckily, the first half of the book is quite readable, and just needs a few more scenes and some plot points wedged in. It's only the back end that's a steaming pile of [transition]s and suck.

You have to feed enslaved ghost-writers, and their work is usually substandard if they aren't fed well.

I feel moved to quote Julian of Norwich: all shall be well and all manner of things shall be well.
