Now that Monday's
euphoria (and champagne headache) has worn off, reality is setting in about the
work that needs to be done to 'The Alchemist's Heir' to get it publisher-fit.
It reminds me of an
old (and possibly apocryphal) Ad Agency conversation...
Account Exec (to
Creatives) - 'The client LOVED the concept using Max Wall and the parrot. He'd
like us to look at it again - without using either Max Wall or the parrot.'
It wasn't quite that
bad, but... it's fair to say that it won't be a 'clap a sticking plaster on it
and hope for the best' type rewrite, but a 'let's get bloody up to the elbows
and hope the patient doesn't die on the table' one.
Bring it on.
