So I just said online, “I finished reading TBF this morning and don’t see how I can cut very much more, or change too much more structure, although there are some scenes I can add, I think, and my editor may just have to accept that there isn’t as much interaction with all the cops in this book. There’ll be lots more in the next book.” Then I said I always feels like I’m speaking in tongues when I start saying things like that. One of my friends said,”You aren’t…
running out of brain
5 pages from 200 and running out of brain. Actually, the revisions have been going really well today. I cut about a chapter and a half of stuff I liked but which really wasn’t necessary, and probably another half chapter’s worth of stuff that was related to that.

not too sure about this…
My new glasses came in last night. I actually got glass lenses, because I prefer them by leaps and bounds over plastic lenses, but man, I’m surprised at how much more they weigh. My prescription’s really not that bad, but the difference is noticable and I’ve got a sort of pressure headache around my nose. I’m pretty sure I didn’t go through every day with a headache in the days before plastic lenses, so I’m going to try to hold out for a week or two and see if I…
