The time has come - with 19 chapters of rough draft on Mr. J Goes to Washington (working title) - to sit down and read though. For several chapters now I've been re-writing backwards in my head ("Oh, actually the British Minister should be running a spy-ring, and if so then this would happen that affects the plot..."). Also, I have to remember that the municipal government of Washington was PHENOMENALLY corrupt in 1838, and things we take for granted in 2012 (like, you can't shoot somebody down in the public street) were very different. I'm juggling a LOT of school stuff right now, so it's difficult to a) get the time clear and b) have the emotional energy.
I'm also working on setting up a fan-page on Facebook. I want to keep my regular page, for close friends and family members, so whatever app it is that magically transforms your personal page into a fan page, I can't use. Any advice people have about this transfer would be deeply appreciated. Do I just keep making announcements, "Everybody please go into the next room..."?
