Right so..
I sent that chapter I'd worked so hard on to my editor, and she sends it back saying "start the book on page 16"
*gulp* I didn't get rid of all 16.... but half....
As it turns out, that started an avalanche (or in the case of this book, a landslide) of thoughts and ephiphanies for the book. The setting has now been moved, everything is more streemlined and I think I've come up with a fix for a later chapter.
But wow.... what a mess my manuscript looks like right now.
zannachan and I are heading off to Staples now because we need paper... and other... goodies :D
then I have to work on Chapters Two and Three!
