I got through the reread/edit of the new NCM chapters today, only had to fiddle with a few things and then I was happy with them. Then I started with the older stuff–the previous chapter 1 which is now chapter 5–and as you can imagine, I had to take a pretty heavy hand there. Lots needed cutting, as this was no longer the place where I was introducing the character and the situation and the world. I hope and expect that will lessen as I go along…
And, here are a few more pics from last week, courtesy of my stepdad, the photographer:
Stepdad and Mom on the observation deck at the Space Needle. Yes, he’s holding his arm out and taking this picture.
Mom and Mark and me on the ferry to Bainbridge Island.
A cool shot down one of the aisles at the aquarium store.
