Shut up.  Really, just shut up.

The plan was to get the sequel to The Portal done in 2015, but 2016 finds me about three-quarters of the way through the second draft.  This isn’t like a George R.R. Martin delay, and I don’t have editors and publishers and translators and millions of readers waiting on me.  It’s just a personal thing.  But still.

What I don’t want to do (and I’m sure Martin doesn’t want to do) is to publish the thing before it’s ready.  I can feel the temptation to declare victory and move on.  But the list of things I want to tweak in the next draft is growing….

So I’ll get there–maybe by March.  Maybe before George R.R. Martin.
