Writing Is Not an Alibi

It’s official: I’ll be leaving for the new place in 6 days from now. I didn’t update earlier simply because I didn’t get much done lately, between trip-and-move organization, some tedious post-phd bureaucratic business to take care of, and thankfully, hanging out with friends and relatives to celebrate the upcoming big change in my life. I did still work on the revision almost every day, but since what I’m doing at the moment is mostly cutting-and-fixing the prose, I only got in 86 words net total from last time I updated.

Since the following days are going to be just as busy (and the following week is going to be even worse) - not only because of the upcoming trip and new job but also of a special art-related gift I want to get done before I have to leave - PoB is officially going to take a step back and stay on the backburner for a while, at least until I settle down at the new place and I have a clear notion of how much free time the job is actually going to allow me. I’m still going to work on it daily, but this is officially no more a final rush, at least for the moment. I’ll assess progress at least every week, and whenever I manage to make significant steps forward, like getting to the end of a revised scene.

I know some time ago I said I might have some interesting news when the revision for PoB would be done - I haven’t forgotten about that. It’s still too early, but said news might be revealed soon, and before the end of the revision. Stay tuned!
