Is that a novel I see before me?

I’m still working on this novel. I’ve had some feedback on earlier versions of the manuscript, but now I’m on my own sorting this mess out. One thing I don’t like about writing on a computer is having to scroll back forth in the manuscript to find scenes. I want to see several scenes at the same time.

Ideally, I’d have a big wall I could tape the manuscript to. Then I could pick scenes up, move them around, and leave spaces where something is missing. Anyway, I have a small section of a wall, and it really isn’t enough for what I want to do. The pages drag the floor, and I’ve got three dogs. I can’t have anything dragging the floor.

I want to have this done, like yesterday. And then I need to find a new publisher. I am not looking forward to the search, but that’s neither here nor there. The work is the thing!

When this manuscript is done, I have another to work on. And another that after. And another after that. I’ll run out of time before I run out of manuscripts to work on.
