I completed the first pass through Malmaxa II – The Pilgrimage about a week ago. After a few days of elation and recuperation I set to entering the edits and got though them in short order. Feeling delighted, I printed out the first hard-copy proof – a mere 797 double spaced pages – and felt hope drain away as I read through the first page… ton’s more work is still needed before the manuscript is in a state I’ll be willing to publish. Oh well. Round two begins.
