It was inevitable, I suppose. The first part of the revision process on WAR OF MAGIC went so fast I thought maybe it was going to be easy.

But revisions are never that easy. And now the revisions are not going as smoothly or as swiftly. Now it’s plugging along.

Even so, I’m as close as makes no difference to two-thirds done with the first round. The second round won’t require a full read-through. It’s purpose will be to go back to the comments I hadn’t fully addressed the first time. Then the polishing edit and it will be ready to go.

Even if the last bit is something of an uphill slog, the end is in sight.

Also, my last few answers for the A to Z favorite fantasy characters game #FellowshipOfFun as we get down to the really difficult letters are:

• W is for Willow. Yes, you have to use the way-back machine for that one.
• X is for Charles Xavier, Professor X.
• Y is the only easy one from this batch. Yoda, of course.
• Z is the hardest. The only character I can come up with is Zorro, and that’s neither fantasy nor science fiction. But . . . I could write a fantasy story using those elements. Hmm.
