The Austrian Painter is Done

The Austrian Painter is done.

That is we are declaring the rough draft complete.

We were writing last night and the moment just seemed to be there.

Of course tons of work remains to be done on the MS and we may even add a chapter or two as there are some events we have not shown and a longer gap than we like in the narrative.

So here's what the book looks like. We start in 1964 and see the Austrian Painter and his world. Then we flashback. 1964, flashback and so on.

These flashbacks are:

-1914, the beginning of the Great War
-1915, he Austrian Painter's time on on the Eastern Front
-1920, the Austrian Painter tours the United States
-1930, the Austrian Painter tours the German Congo

So right now we have 30 years where we don't see another flashback. If someone has an idea for that we'd be interested. What else is there to show?
