Got my work cut out for me...

What I've written on DW, so far, is going to take a fair amount of work. I'm still dealing with Adam's time up to and while he's in Fairview. Then comes setting up the conflict between Dair, a snarly brat named Bobby, and Sarah, his sister-in-law. It's okay but needs some aspects to be better established so it flows instead of lumber.

Adam has decided to get as much as he can out of Dair, and acknowledges actually cheating him on work he does on the lodge. And is not sorry...until Dair defends him against Sarah's smarmy gossip. Then he starts to feel protective of Dair.

All this will need at least half a dozen rewrites to even begin to read properly. 

I wonder if I should do the book in 3 parts...or four, maybe? All in one volume. It would be thick, at the rate it's going. I'd like to cut at least 20% out to streamline it...but when I do that I wind up adding more. Like this poem Adam writes after being shaken by watching Vertigo:

Adam I have been 
And now I am him 
In fullness and in grace. 
His visage still my face 
And yet is not... 
For I now renew 
In ways yet untrue. 
Embers burn within. 
Once again, 
I am him 
And I can but begin 
And be forgot.

There will be many more of these.

God, I'm tired. I didn't sleep, last night, and only got a  4 hour nap, this afternoon. Going to bed early.
