imaginarycircus at 05:10pm on 13/08/2008book 1, draft iii:
I cut 800 words out of the first chapter. I guess that is better than nothing. I think it reads more suspensefully now. There is more dialog, more left for the reader to put together on her own. I hope. My in-laws are taking me out to dinner. I so need a drink.
I'm very happy that I have novel brain again. It is like a crush. First thought in the morning. Last thought at night.

Yay, clean, stream-lined text with room for imagination!
Yay, Katie!
Have an awesome time with in-laws and David over dinner. I hope that liquor and chocolate are both on the menu. :o)
When you return, would you take a time to weigh in on my to-read-list post? I'd love your opinion on some of the books in my stacks.

I have the most horrible cramps. There better be chocolate and liquor!

Sorry for cramps, too, and hopeful for chocolate!
Thanks very much! I shall be ordering the initial stack (first ten) based on what strikes my fancy (since reading is competing with Olympics and summertime). The next set will be ordered based on recs. :o)
