The book is now stable. I'm working through it for continuity issues, and I'll be done in two days. Here's the thing. To write a book well, at least for me, I have to do the whole thing as a kind of blob. I've talked a bit before about how I wrote The Ecological Thought as a 3-page summary and then just kept on adding sentence after sentence. Well Realist Magic didn't quite turn out that way, but I did write the whole thing sorta kinda how it should be. Then as the weeks went by I've added greater and greater levels of structure to the thing.
Adding one painstakingly crafted sentence to the next would take an eternity. And it might result in a book that was too variegated.
