Oh, yay, Amy! And you can DO EEEEEEET!
We can stresswrite in tandem, since my agent is prodding me with sharpened pencils to get her a proposal for the new project.
It's all about choices, Faith. The ones we make, and the ones we don't. Oh, and the consequences. Those are always fun.

Always Anti-fascist!
Well, thanks. Knowing what's funny is good. Also, if a scene slows things down a lot or if I left someone standing around without accounting for him...you know, continuity things. Loose threads that don't pay off.

I'll keep a lookout. It's going to be slow because of the dual complication of work and trying to finally finish off my revision.
Speaking of revision, I suppose there is no right or wrong way to approach the next revision, but I think I may do a quick sweep and chop as much as I can. If the wordcount shrinks enough, I may go back to the one book strategy. If it doesn't then at least I'll have cut away some dead wood. Maybe I can tally up places that should be expanded from narrative to scenes on that sweep as well.
Good luck Amy!

ION, my agent has not said anything about the GCS 2 proposal. Have I mentioned that I'm not good at waiting? Aaaaaaugh!

Deep breaths, Jilli. And cupcakes.

Almost done with chapter 56, I've just got a few tweaks and then it'll finally be done . . . for this revision.
Chapter 57 could be tricky too unfortunately. I think things will smooth out after that.

I finally got 56 in the bag. 57 is getting close too. I used to think 55 chapters, then it became 58 chapters, and now I'm looking at 62 chapters. I'm feeling pretty confident about the 62 number. The good thing is, that aside from chapter 60 and a couple of scenes in 59, things will flow pretty much as they are in the rough draft. I'm even hoping to use parts from the rough draft.

Gud, I haven't been keeping up with the chapters you've been sending me. If you want to send me the same complete first book you sent Liese, I'll go ahead and read it all the way through and try very hard to give you feedback. I can guarantee the reading, I'm not sure I'll have useful critique to offer but I will try.

That would be great! Thanks!
I can send the normal copy, or one optimized for duplex printing.

Normal is fine.
