Edits going well


I wanted to round out one element with a subplot which will bring the novel up to 90,000. However, once I really get into revision, that may go shorter–or longer–but not by much.

Novel Done!


It’s only 80,000 words, and I have some ideas for a bit of expansion in the revision.

A Great Four Days


Revised Chapter 10, and wrote Chapter 11 AND 12, and revised both. Also did a first pass at the revisions for my short story, using the critiques of my writers’ group from last week. Overall, very productive. Can’t wait to start chapter 13 – maybe as early as today (though I have regular life back, as well). This is a short novel, only 80,000 words, so the home stretch is in sight!
