 The Pink House, William Degouve de Nuncques

Almost done with the minor edit fixes on Loose Daddy, getting ready to go through the manuscript again to do a major mark-up. There will be blood. Need to further develop my main character’s storyline and that means significant cutting and re-writing of the middle portion of the story, but I’ve got two strong motivations in place and a solid plot step that feeds well into his emotions and his state of mind. I’m looking at 55,000 to 60,000 words in the final. When I finish this rewrite, I’ll be sending the manuscript back to Steve.

No work on Sweet Taboo this week. Stuck at Chapter 7–don’t know what to do.

No work on the novella either.

A Lamentation of Swans is demanding attention, but I can’t find a free hour to give to it.
