Thirty-five pages to go and one of my characters is just absolutely breaking my heart.
WAAAAHHHHHHH
This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

I just found a typo. It should be 'The man gave Martin a bow' not 'The man gave Martin a blow'. Boy, one letter makes a big difference.

“Not dead yet!”
Ooph, Gud. Those are always problematic. Because spell check won't catch those.
ImememeN, I am DONE.
The last 35 pages took longer than I expected, but I was being very careful to make sure all the loose ends and references were tied together, nothing left hanging. Best part, though, is when you read through and you realize those threads all pulled themselves together, seemingly without much effort on your part.
The Girls in the Basement, hard at work.
I'll let it rest a bit and maybe skim some specific bits tomorrow, then Wednesday morning, off it goes to Madame Agent.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
All right, Barb! Woo!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Excellent Barb!
No problem Beverly, I just thank you for taking a look.

“Not dead yet!”
Oooph. Sooooo tired. I was exhausted when I finished last night after 1AM, but I just couldn't settle down. Mind was racing entirely too hard and fast. So up again at 6:45.
I'll probably give the last two chapters a final looksee and then send, just to get the bastard off my desk.

Glad to hear it's leaving your desk. That has to feel good.
I'm very close to being done with revised chapter 4. It's another short chapter but not out of line with chapter size in the revision. It was a such a perfect place to break though and it's right before a change in POV. Chapter 5 will be all brand spanking new stuff, but it will be pretty short.

I'm thinking after generating new stuff for chapter 5, I may go back to chapter 1 to make a few changes based on comments I've received. I've already made a few.

Always Anti-fascist!
SCRIPT TIP THAT'S NOT IN A BOOK Don't read Nick Hornby and write "Entourage" at the same time. While it makes for a nice tour of The Male Experience, you'll find yourself wondering when Johnny Drama got a "mobile" pretty fast.
