I allowed one concession.
For hypothetical purposes, I took some of my off time and put together a new spreadsheet outlining the book. I reworked the chapters so that, except in trivial places, nothing was summarized. Each scene was played out by the characters, and supported by their words and actions. I added notes that defined the location of each scene, so that I could use my new writing style to more effectively capture the environment around the characters.
Then, using very rough calculations, I made an estimate on how much time it would take to do the third rewrite.
Three months.
If I was fully dedicated to it. If I paused the consulting business again.
