novel, second cut

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Tokyo, 2008.01.14

I've sent a second cut of my novel to my agent. Some nine months after I sent the last version.

Just in time for another nine month episode to end!

Actually, it was nine months, but only half that from when I got the feedback from the writing coach. I essentially redrafted the book in nineteen weeks while holding down a full time job, taking twice-weekly Japanese classes, preparing for fatherhood. We even through in a move to a new apartment and a trip to another continent.

No wonder I'm exhausted.
