the novel

[likethebeer]

I finished "red-lining" it (really, w/a black pen). So I go back now & put all all the changes in. There are a few things that I need to do. There's one possibly crucial piece of dialog that I need to figure out. the whole story doesn't hinge on it, but it makes a nice connection to other things that have gone on. Sort of a "click" in the story. And ghostwes advised that I demonstrate what a small town this can be (I even made the big ol' farmers seem really nice, for example--I just don't want the people of this town to feel bad about themselves when this book becomes really famous and all these people come to town to go on the Death by Design tour--that's the way my mind works).
