Happy day before Friday, all!

I am looking forward to a good weekend of work. I will continue reading through the manuscript (how many times now since 2010?). It's amazing how much has changed in the world and how that influences the choices and changes I need to make to the novel...which takes place in the mid 1990s! The story and structure will stay the same, but details need expanding and contracting in certain places. 

I will also be "talking" with old friends and catching up: a nice little side-effect of being glued to my computer and social media throughout this campaign (but I'll need a tech de-tox after all is said and done). 

In chatting (via direct messaging function on Facebook) with a high school classmate of mine last week, I discovered that, in addition to being a high school English teacher, she has a bit of a side-hustle as an editor. Her background and professionalism seem like a good fit for me. I really hope I get the opportunity to work with her, but that is actually a bit more money than production costs raised through the campaign. I'll deal with that at a later time.

For now, you can check out her nicely done website if you'd like: http://www.hjseditingservices....

And, of course, keep your eye on the campaign in the final 12 days. Thanks so much for your support!
