Good Luck Allyson!

I made good progress on 23, but it's taking longer to get past the new stuff than I thought. Thank goodness I cut out a bunch of stuff at this point in the plot. I guess I will press onward with 23 until I hit a point that would make a good chapter break. I think there is some slack in my chapter plan that I can use to prevent word count from exceeding my goal.

In my plan, I had always thought about splitting it off in two directions during my next revision. One, the straightforward revision and two, a modified version without the more adult stuff solely so my daughter could read it. Now I wonder if I could turn that second version into a full-fledged YA derivative. Food for thought, I suppose.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

That sounds fantastic, Barb!

Because books.

That's actually soon in children's publishing terms!

Don't I know it! But this is exactly why I wanted to be with an adult house that had gone into YA rather than a strict children's house.

Anybody willing to read through my teaching statement? It's about two and a half pages long, and I'd just really like someone else's eyes on it before I send it out, and I've given up on that "someone" being my advisor. I can email it as a Word file.
