Also, I got a bit of feedback on Book 1, always cool. Good stuff, I'll probably act on all the weak areas mentioned. It was exciting to read that a couple of things I was trying to achieve worked out for the reader.
Well, look at you. All dressed up in big sister's clothes.

I got more of 60 written and it's already as big as most of my chapters even thought there is still a lot to cover. It'll probably be split. It looks like 62 won't be the last chapter after all.

My wife found a big mistake in chapter 6, something totally implausible. I can't believe I didn't think of it, but then I changed things from the rough draft so I think the scene used to be plausible. I'm glad she caught it though. She loves to catch stuff like that.
Speaking of plausibility. I listened to an Atlanta airport scene in my Lee Child audio book. I don't know the Atlanta airport, but I totally didn't buy the scene regardless. The book is still a good listen, I just had to shrug off that scene.

Um, anyone interested in reading a short (2K words) of the New Project?
It's not at any kind of needing critique stage yet-- just more a general impressions sort of thing, especially since it's such a new beast for me.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I am, Barb. Assuming you don't need super fast turnaround (ie - it might have to wait until this evening).

Because books.
I can do it later this evening, Barb.

Nope, no hurry necessary. I'll send shortly.

Chipped off a bit more of 60, it's already an unusually large chapter and there is still plenty to happen. Dang, I was hoping to be done with this revision about now.
