You know, I'm not sure I know the title for this one, Gud. What is it?

The first book I have titled "The Dead Mountain", still not 100% sure about that one. The second book I have titled "Daughter of my Blood", which I think will stick. If I end up with one book, then I'll have to have a title cage-match.

Titles are always the hardest thing about a book for me.

I totally bogart song titles for book titles.

I had a brief moment of panic last night when I thought I had lost everything I did yesterday, but I figured out that I accidentally saved to a different name. Luckily I figured it out quickly, that's a bad feeling.

I'm still working on 58 but I've gotten past the second scene and I'm ready to plunge into the third wherein the MC has to break some very awkward news to her parents.

Another scene down in 58, I'm hoping to make a push to get 58 and 59 done by the end of the weekend. If can do that and get a start on 60, then I might be able to get this first revision done by the end of next weekend.

Of course getting to the ending will bring up the whole issue of whether or not to change it. I'm still thinking I won't, but I'll have to see what readers think.

You might try just letting it rest for a week or two, as well, and then giving it a reread yourself. It's amazing how much you catch when you have some time away, everything from pace to characterization to word choice.

That sounds like a good idea. I intend to make an audio version, I pick up a lot listening to it.

I'll have a bit of time before diving into the next revision. There's some groundwork I need to do to get ready.

I *always* pick up things when I read aloud for my critique group, especially repeated words and missing ones. Reading aloud is so useful, but I don't have the patience to do it all in one shot.
