New possible agent requested full ms. :D

I want to be done with this draft in 38 days or fewer. And the request this morning is lighting a proverbial fire under my ass. So here I go.

There are 41 chapters and the fifth draft is 92,685 words

Ideally I would like the sixth draft to come in at 40 chapters and closer to 80,000 words

I've reworked the first 8 chapters so I need to blow through 2 chapters a day, editing and thinning. Not sure whether it's better to mark passages that need rewriting and go back to them or address them as they come up. I guess I'll play it by ear. Sometimes I end up with a problem I don't immediately have the solution to and I guess moving on is the best move in my limited time frame.

This must be a dreadfully boring post. For your amusement (particularly flourish's) I submitted a one sentence true story to onesentencestories.com: I had an imaginary friend named Henry who was an Auschwitz survivor.

Aegis, sixth draft



I've edited ten chapters, which is 24.3%
