Demon Novel Update

I finished “plotting” the second act of my demon novel-in-progress.

My note doc for the first two acts, which I’ve described in an earlier post as not so much notes as an inelegant but extremely detailed first draft, now runs 60K words. I have three more acts to tell myself before I, you know, write the thing.

Before I continue, I’m taking a week or two for reading and general life improvement. I’ll read some Carl Jung and an oral history of David Bowie. I need to watch a couple of cannibal shows (for research purposes only, unless they’re really compelling). And I’m reenforcing some habits like meditation, lower screen time, lean eating, etc.
