I focused on rewriting the beginning of the book. I cut roughly 10.5K words and wrote about 1610 words of new material. I also recycled about 1K placing it elsewhere in the story. So I've netted about 8K words cut. I did stand at 231K. Now I'm at 223K words. I have a long way to goooooo….

In addition, I developed my Author's website on Squarespace. It's still in private mode, but I'll place the link in my signature line once I'm comfortable with the end product.

I've edited four chapters comprising roughly 14,000 words.

I cut about 2k in word count (1k net)

I wrote about 1000 words of new material.

My ms now stands at 221,220 words (MS Word count). Down from 232K when I first started editing.

I critiqued 4 SFF submittals this week. 1 on AW, 3 on Critters.

I started a correspondence with a possible freelance editor.

I'll start self-editing Ch 5 tomorrow.

Reporting in late--2 reviews. Still hammering away at promotion and marketing. Pulled 126 review requests in three weeks, that's something to look forward to when they start to roll in (if no one changes their mind). Words = 2,400 pages.
