Cleared the halfway mark on the Team Eagle Eye edits. Since the last 75 pages need only a few days of work — mostly towards the very end of the story — a mid to late September finish is possible. I’ll avoid a hard and fast prediction, however. Suffice to say, I want to finish before the leaves turn amber.

Two weeks on bottom-up edits, then the manuscript heads off to a reader group for feedback and corrections. These three have proved that they can work very quickly on this and other projects, so I believe they will return it with alacrity.

No plans to work on the novel ever again beyond Halloween. From that point it’s agent shopping and new stories. The next main project may or may not turn into another novel. I’ll just let it run its course without worrying about what I want. Plus there’s a possible collaboration, but I must reach out to someone properly about that one. Between the two, I’ll keep sharpening the chops.

Back to work now…
