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.

“Not dead yet!”

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).

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.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

If you need more eyes, I'm there for you, Barb.
