With the last novel, the writing and editing was hurly burly. I was alternating between projects, a method used by many to keep the juices flowing. This time it's not the issue.
At times this spring (and now early summer) I feel like I'm condensing what I did over Pookoo for 17 years. I have a clear idea from Day One. This book didn't change all that much from the original outline, although some pleasant surprises have happened along the way.
The fourth-gear creativity is no longer the order of the day, but a critical eye. I do have to watch that part of me because it created a book I'm proud of but it also took a long time and I don't want to keep taking over a decade and a half for each book. Knowing WHEN is an art, not science.
