This lovely young woman below is a bit closer to what I imagine my heroine of my first novel looks like as I write the third draft.

It’s not a one-to-one. But my heroine is somewhere between Ms. Zeegelaar and Corrie Yee.

Anyway, the point is I need to stop screwing around and actually get this third draft done. It’s just taking longer than I expected because I’ve had to re-imagine and rework the second and third acts, given how much I changed the first act.
