8 Chapters in, UMBRA Fails to Suck--Author Gobsmacked
Today I read up to the end of Chapter 8 of the dreaded tome, and found I was only making very minor corrections to the text--a line here, a punchier bit of dialogue there, cool bit of foreshadowing over that way--and that, at various points, it was actually bloody gripping! I'm sitting here, reading along, thinking, PHWOAR! If the rest of this thing shapes up the same way, I might actually have something here.
Of coure, I'm still prepared for the final three or four chapters to be redone from scratch. There's a thing that happens to Our Synthetic Hero at about that point which makes his progress during the final chapters extremely difficult, more even than I'm comfortable with, so I need to fix that, and that means everything that follows has to be redone as well. I'll be fine. If I only need to redo those last chapters, rather than the whole beast, I'll be greatly relieved.

non-suckage is a good thing...well, most of the time...and particularly in this case.
