Hey Folks,
Well, I don’t have a lot to report today, but a really good “Of Interest” section.
I was determined today to have less than 25% of the edit left to finish tomorrow. With that in mind, I leaned into it from around 4 a.m. until I stopped at around 3 p.m. So a good 11-hour day, with a few breaks here and there.
As I write this I have 15% of the edit left to do, so I should finish it tomorrow. Then, unless the gods frown on me. I should be able to return to my WIP. Woohoo!
I’m not listing Dean Wesley Smmith’s website very often while he’s in the midst of his challenge and moving. But I do recommend you drop in now and then to glance over his posts. That’s at http://deanwesleysmith.com.
Back soon.

See Sue Coletta’s “How To (Legally) Get Away With Murder” at https://killzoneblog.com/2018/04/how-to-legally-get-away-with-murder.html. This one probably will end up on my Writers Resources page.
