Sequel Update
The manuscript is growing, and I'm feeling more and more confident about the project, now that I'm sort of at the point of no return with it. I think that every writer must intuitively know at what point they should fully commit themselves to a book, or perhaps scrap it and move on to something else. It was very difficult for me to face this novel, knowing that it would be the most complex and ambitious thing I've ever attempted. I wasn't certain at the time that I could or even should write it, for a number of reasons that I'll go into detail about later on. I have absolutely no doubts about it now, however. HEDLEY:”I have access to the OMAKON Library. I wrote the damned thing. Regardless, I'll accept your challenge, although we both know I’ll die before I know those truths.”
A fragment from the start of Chapter II. I realize these excerpts are virtually meaningless, which is exactly why I'm posting them.
