Excellent!
Zoe: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing? Book: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Congrats, Jilli! Exciting!

Oh, and Gudanov, when you are ready for beta readers, consider me volunteered. i can't offer any kind of expertise in the way of feedback, but I have read a fair amount of fantasy and tend to have opinions.

Marking it down for that magic day when I have enough revision done. Thanks!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, I am volunteering. You're writing in my happy genre, and I read like the wind, so lots of pages is not a problem.
Anyway, you should ask when you need it. We'll feel free to tell you no! Hee.

The revised chapter 1 is done. The first revision of it anyways. I still have at least one more run though it for more detailed corrections. I've decided to get the story changes down before running through and fixing the punctuation, checking the grammar, and punching up the language. The first few and last few chapters will probably get revisited the most.
I just scratched the surface of two last night. I'm hoping to make some more serious progress tonight. After that, will come a brand spanking new chapter that wasn't in the rough draft.

Always Anti-fascist!
So, I did that thing where you think about your idea and try to write down everything it makes you think of and stuff..I didn't get anything out of it. Besides feeling kind of nuts. Which I knew already.

Lots of writing exercises make me feel kind of nuts, like "If I have time to do this odd exercise, surely I have time to write something that I'm not going to stare at in bafflement."
