The first draft of the other project is finished, and I finally feel like I can get back to the novel! There will be more work on this other thing, of course. I want to let it sit for a week or so, print it, and read it all the way through in one sitting, marking it up as I go. Then I will make those edits and I will have a second draft, at which point I will share it with a few trusted people. I will incorporate their feedback (or not) and then I will have a third draft. But the point is, this thing has moved from the drafting stage to the revision stage, which means I only have one big project in the drafting stage now: the novel.
