Also, I got a bit of feedback on Book 1, always cool. Good stuff, I'll probably act on all the weak areas mentioned. It was exciting to read that a couple of things I was trying to achieve worked out for the reader.
I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

I got more of 60 written and it's already as big as most of my chapters even thought there is still a lot to cover. It'll probably be split. It looks like 62 won't be the last chapter after all.

My wife found a big mistake in chapter 6, something totally implausible. I can't believe I didn't think of it, but then I changed things from the rough draft so I think the scene used to be plausible. I'm glad she caught it though. She loves to catch stuff like that.
Speaking of plausibility. I listened to an Atlanta airport scene in my Lee Child audio book. I don't know the Atlanta airport, but I totally didn't buy the scene regardless. The book is still a good listen, I just had to shrug off that scene.

Um, anyone interested in reading a short (2K words) of the New Project?
It's not at any kind of needing critique stage yet-- just more a general impressions sort of thing, especially since it's such a new beast for me.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I am, Barb. Assuming you don't need super fast turnaround (ie - it might have to wait until this evening).

Because books.
I can do it later this evening, Barb.

“Not dead yet!”
Nope, no hurry necessary. I'll send shortly.

Chipped off a bit more of 60, it's already an unusually large chapter and there is still plenty to happen. Dang, I was hoping to be done with this revision about now.
