No Problem

So, I did sit down and rework my previously-mentioned problem chapter of "Balms & Sears."  There were two moments in there that I felt went too far, and I felt it improved the ending of the book if I nipped them in the bud. 

The thing is, in real life, good people occasionally do bad things, and there are at least a few bad people out there that sometimes do something good (harder to quantify, I know).  But in fiction, because these characters (for good or ill) are all me, I can change my mind, and make things blacker and whiter.  Ultimately, I had this niggling feeling that it was a problem, and I feel better making that change.

Part of the problem is, I've never written a book this big before (unlikely that I will again), and I don't know what I'm doing.  Even now, I worry that it's not all that good, but hey, I've worked harder on "Balms & Sears" than I have on any previous work, so I'm going to finish it and put it out there.  And then you can be the ultimate judge.
I asked A.I. to create me the image of Superman lifting up a schoolbus, and I got this.
