I'm up to chapter 44 in my current revision. I'm actually going to get this thing all fixed up at some point. Many, many comma splices have been fixed.

78,000 words of 85,000 done. (If it is a bit less, great, but for me upper not lower limits are what I struggle with.) Unfortunately, one of the unfinished chapters is at the beginning which is delaying it getting out to beta readers. Instead of first section done mid-Nov, it will be an almost complete work out in mid-Dec. I have one chapter to write, one to heavily revise, and one Appendix to completely rewrite. Still good progress. And I finally got the stuff I needed via interlibrary loan to write that early chapter.

It sounds like you're making great progress there.

If anyone wants to beta about fifty pages of a mystery for me, I'd be grateful.

I'm going to be stuck in a waiting room for routine med stuff today, so send it along and I'll give a quick beta.

It's a big mess...It's a NaNo so I did it quick and dirty. Not apologizing...just, you know.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore

If anyone's interested, I made a little ebook of some short stories I wrote. It's called "four love stories, and a robot" and is available here.

Cool. Something for my E-reader, it's been hungry for new content.

That feedbooks site is interesting (the place Holli's book is at). I like how it puts things into so many formats including Kindle. It's something I can definitely see as being useful for distributing a free book.
