Hokay. I have the first draft done.
At this point I have sufficient structure in place to go review my reference books to see where I am missing critical things and flesh out what I have into a form sufficiently close to final that I can submit the manuscript. (As opposed to the first time I read half these books, where a fair fraction of what I read was "I should probably use that somewhere but I have no idea where", and thus shaped what I was doing without providing concrete detail.)
I did a pass through Reading Egyptian Art last night and tweaked a few things, and then I put the book away. And today I did a scan through the heaps of books I have everywhere and pulled out the ones I don't need anymore and put those away too, so now I have a short shelf of books for review and a much cleaner side table.
Thus what remains for the revision pass is( behind the cut: )
Sixteen books. A four of fours; how pleasant. Completion of completion. Some of these will be really quick; some will take a while, but that feels eminently workable.
"Let there be, let there always be neverending light."
