see-saw much?

I've changed my mind again. I won't be revising Diamonds & Dust until I've finished the first draft. Since I started writing it again, I've been going back over it and I just realized the revision process is going to be so much bigger than I originally thought - that I wouldn't be able to just go back and do a couple chapters at the beginning and so forth - and I don't want to get caught up in that and never finish the story. So that's the good news.

The bad news? The dinner party has been taking forever to write. I've probably been working on it for two weeks, and there were days there when I was lucky if I could get a full page out. And it's really only the first part (which is, of course, about ten pages) - the second half will go so much smoother, I know it. But I got so frustrated, actually, that I had to put D&D down and turn to something else. I think I'm getting close to that middle point though, so things should flow a little better soon and I can finally update the story again, after a month and a half of nothing. That'll feel really good.

I want to know - is D&D publishable? Do you guys read it and think, "I could be sitting in a Barnes and Noble café with a paperback copy of this bad boy"? Obviously, it will still undergo revision, and could definitely use a little polish even after all that's said and done, but is the potential there? I could use some honesty on this one.
