The first draft of the book I’m working on started as an 80k word attempt at a tongue-in-cheek fantasy schlock-fest about a peasant pikeman getting wrapped up in wizard fights.

Now the second draft is like 250k words (nearly done at least) about an abandoned Wizard tower between universes that has been accumulating runoff from the multiverse’s adjacent worlds. It’ll be hell combing through whatever manic episodes led to this but I maintain hope that some good stuff is in there.

If you go down this road (which is hard and sometimes downright humiliating at first, but quickly becomes incredibly fun), I'd advise you also keep copies of everything you write (using carbon paper or your phone's camera) to keep track of your progress. Hashish helps.
