My goal is to have Cog ready for querying by the end of October. That might be a bit ambitious,though.

I feel a lot better about querying this novel than the first one. Though, once again, I might be fighting its size which is nearly 90k at the moment. I have two scenes that I know I'm cutting for sure, but there are other places that might grow in revision. I guess I'll have to see where things stand after some more work. Generally editing should shrink it some.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Would anyone have the time to read a seven page essay?

It's sparse, I'm interested in knowing what ideas I should expand on. If anyone has time/interest, allyson.beatrice @ gmail.

And thanks!

I'd be happy to take a look but it would be even later than this weekend. I've got a beta reading backlog at the moment.
