The second draft of the next City by the Bay (previous stories are Chiaroscuro and Something Beautiful) story is done, as of today.

There will be editing. Oh yes. It’s not quite ready to submit yet, and I don’t think my publisher would take too well to a 100,000-word submission. But that’s an issue for another day.

(Like tomorrow or Wednesday.)

Also for another day is deciding what to actually call this thing. I’ve been calling it Cartography For Beginners for years, but I’m no longer sure that’s the right title. Currently it’s One of My Kind. I’ve also tried The Curve of the Earth, which seems kind of generic, and Loving Leo, which is just…yeah, no.

Oh, titles. When they don’t announce themselves they can be so hard to find.
