-- the revisionist
It's mid-1990s Silicon Valley. 19-year-old Kat has lost her entire family. She confronts an identity crisis unique to that era. Social media algorithms cannot define her—but her family mythology might.

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!
