Part three is done to my current level of satisfaction. My whole plan for this Jeremiah story foundered several months ago when I found logical holes in this portion, and since it's integral to subsequent storylines I had to find a way of fixing the holes without altering the core events. I couldn't even look at it for months, but I think I've fixed it now, or anyway it's 80% improved. It's also 22,066 words, so I'm too mentally exhausted to feel any of the happiness I expected at reaching its finalish draft stage.
Anyway, boat's back on course so someday I will be free of this thing.
