Yes, indeed.

After a great deal of thought and bouncing the idea around, I simply cannot leave it unfinished. It does mean I will revise the entire thing because I really don't quite know where the story is, the characters in their development or the overall arc -- well, I remember it, but ....

::hug::

You've made my morning with your excitement.

I re-read it once again last year so that I could rec it on OBM, and this was how I felt about The Summoning:

Although, how is one to revise what is already perfect? ;)

I'm totally blushing. What a glorious compliment, and thank you!

As for revisions, it's not that I have a lot to revise as I think the plot is pretty tight for 'Summoning', it's more along the lines of polishing and tightening certain passages. There are some redundancies during those moments when I'm searching/rationalizing my characters internal thought processes. I don't really need to convince a reader three and four times of something thoroughly grounded. I imagine each chapter will be cut by a few hundred words -- a load of extraneous 'that's running around. I don't want to lose either the tone or tenor of the entire story. I have a lot of fondness for this piece.

Why thank you! I'll need all the encouragement I can get ... it's a rather big project, but I'm rather excited about it.

i'm happy that you will finish your stories; it seems a part of us is left without closure until we've wrestled that final period out of the last paragraph.

Um, prosecco is a happy beverage; it always reminds me of my sister.

What a lovely thought about the Prosecco. I've only tasted it a couple of times, but it's so very lovely. You must have a marvelous sister.

Thank you for the encouragement, and you're so right.

My sister was an amazing lady.

I feel exactly the same way about my brother. We're lucky to have such remarkable siblings.
