Xia is just over 93K, but I’m not getting out the fork yet. I’ve finished my read back and fixed a lot of typos and other general clunkiness. I’ve started searching through the MS for words ending in LY. Most of them meet my good friend Mr. Delete Key.

Since I wanted to blog tonight I ended that at Chapter 17. Will finish that tomorrow, I hope. Then I have at least one chapter that needs some work. Then I guess a read through on paper and then I’ll be pretty much out of time.

Sigh

Today I got my State tax refund and a royalty statement for A Darker Crimson which had an unexpectedly large check in it. Nowhere near enough to buy a MacBook Air, but it will finish paying for my son’s braces.
