Sigh. Well, my head's spinning so I don't know what to think. I have reordered the mid-section of The Rake and deleted an entire chapter. I've long suspected it was necessary so other than being at 93K, that isn't bugging me too much. But now I seriously can't tell if the whole thing just sucks or what. I know I was reading parts and thought, wow. And then I wasn't quite there and I swear I fiddled with and edited edited edited chapter 6 so many times that I can't even stand to read it any more it feels so stale, which is what the new middle feels like. Arghhh!

On the bright side, if there is one, I read a whole book today and my subconscious kept going off on my fp project (I'm going to re-christen it the vapor-book project, which I do believe real authors call writing on "spec." which means a book you haven't sold yet. Plus, as usual, I don't want to go to work and I have a really really hideous week at work facing me. Ick.
