steady progress

I've got about a week before I have to break from my current rewrite to do a page proof on A PERFECT BLOOD.  The timing is good.  I should have a large chunk of the next one tweaked with the changes I want, which will let me use running through the page proofs to refresh myself on where I left off, and then tweak the new one again for a final time to get the emotion flow as perfect as I can before I ah . . . have to rip it apart for my editor after tour.  -laugh-

But eventually they do get on the shelf, obviously, and I can't touch them ever again, so I want to make sure I've got it the way I want it.  And trust me, I use every chance I can to tweak.  I've got such a tweak in mind when I get to the page proof of A PERFECT BLOOD, and I'm anxious to see if I can do it with minimal disruption.  If it takes more than the change of a word or two, then I'll have to stick with what I've got.  We'll see.

Lots of soft rain here.  Kind of gloomy.  It's a hint of winter in the beginnings of fall.  Must drink more tea . . .  :-)
