Thanks, past self, for the reminder. I’m now editing the novel and filling in missing pieces to, hopefully, bring it up to 70,000. As an epic scifi education novel it should be longer, but one thing at a time. Also, this is moving forward thanks to a deal I have with my daughter. Need to finish up by 0ct 31st so I can take on NaNoWriMo again. Which I will do anyway, whether I’ve finished editing or not.

When I was in college I dropped cryptic notes into anonymous cars around town or put them under their windshield wipers. It was fun. But the whole scattering thing sounds more random and this time I would like to add drawings.

I’ve discovered a good resource – The Editorial Department http://editorialdepartment.com/ – for having my book proofed professionally. I’ve rewritten the first five pages about six times and can’t seem to get it to flow right. Still working on it. Still need a major plot point.

I planned to take a six-week editing course in January to help finish up, but my house needs major plumbing repair. I will keep working and maybe the money will materialize or another option will present itself.
