Three chapters to go on Redemption 2

And they already feel like the longest three chapters to edit. My biggest issue seems to be long sentences. Where to cut and how to reword to make the sentences more concise without losing flow? And without my eyes crossing permanently. This edit has the speed of a snail travelling to the next strawberry on a warm humid day, which is pretty fast for a snail. There's progress, and there's a trail of half-eaten strawberries back there, and when did I turn into a snail, I wonder? Strawberries are nummy...

Husband expected me to wash wine bottles for bottling currant wine this weekend, but I forgot I made the promise. Oops. Heh heh. And the load of unfolded clothes on the upstairs couch has become a mountain waiting to collapse on the cats. And whoah! When did that much seeds and dust get on the floor? Did I mention one of my parrotlets has this hamster wheel that squeaks? When he runs on it (which is super cute), the wheel goes "Aaiiiee Aaieee!" like a tortured itsy bitsy poodle. I should oil the wheel, but... No, it's funny listening to the noise. Yes, Bug, torture that widder poodle.

Ok, random Friday morning for me. Back to slugging words until the family wakes up and disturbs me like last night. Pedagogic day, darn it; husband doesn't work Friday; everyone is home. Time to trick some kids into vacuuming and folding laundry. Maybe the husband will wash the bottles himself...

Edit: Oh, yeah! More fan art of Bound in Stone! It’s in progress. Follow @wl552 on Twitter or on Tumblr. Woman is brilliant. What she calls flash fiction is beautiful poetry. :-)  I’ll post a link to the finished art later.
