Today I completed the initial draft of my novella Matryoshka and sent it to Victoria, my agent. It is a first draft, read through and corrected. It may actually be finished: though it has some rough edges, I think I am going to leave them because I feel it suits the work. More recently, it seems that I don’t need to make masses of revisions. There were dozens for The Chosen, perhaps seven for The Standing Dead whereas The Third God took me entirely by surprise when, reading through it, I felt it was fine. What was essentially published was a first draft.

Perhaps what I’m trying to say is that I may be finally getting a handle on this writing malarkey *grin*
