Or at the very least: an inept one.
Ignoring this past week (summer's last flu), I thought I could leave it alone. Be happy with what is was and not be angry by what it wasn't. The truth? That is something somewhere stuck in the middle.
When I last posted, and I do apologize for the absence, I spoke of a third revisit not happening. And now? Well I'm not sure. See I hated saying that I wouldn't run through the columns once more because it sounded like I didn't want to; that, possibly, I didn't care enough.
Again, the truth is far different then what I thought or even made it out to be. I wanted something of a third rewrite that was paragraph based IE take, prod, and rewrite a few sentences here and there. Not rewrite every sentence again.
After that post I thought about the work as a whole. The beginning sections (1-3) had only been rewritten once and then only done so a year previous. Why does this matter? Well I feel that from inception to where I am now, I've grown some both in knowledge and style. I've done some legwork. Some brain work. Hell I'm perusing the basics just to get better.
But what does this all mean overall? Will I ever write and publish a story or will I flail about whilst I only speak of betterment and not ever show it?
I'm still fully behind publishing A Vacant World as soon as possible. But as I've recently learned, there are flaws that can be fixed. They won't take as long as this whole trial has. And, well, I've already sort of started.
I rewrote those early sections again. Fixed some nagging issues and fulfilled what I wanted. Now to do this with the other ten or so misaligned sections....
In the meantime, and I don't expect this all to take too long, I will begin again to work on reviews. I know they aren't as interesting or sometimes are repeating, but I don't want to leave the blog empty. No matter how ironic that may be.

Soon, I promise, I will take one last good stab at this. Reviews starting next week.
