About 60 pages left to do. A third to half of them need to be rewritten entirely. Whether I also need another chapter will depend on those rewrites. The book is due tomorrow.

Thank God for editors who accept email submissions. :)…

And man. I feel like I have not accomplished a lot today. In fact, I’ve gotten more than forty pages of stuff revised, the scene that needed punching has been punched and I like it, I think the next scene works even better now, and the all-new scene I’m working on will set up a bunch of the…
