A few things before a proper post tomorrow.

1) Painting: Project Eclipse Navajo White continues. Painting the apartment is halfway done, with the bedroom and office finished. Saturday, the kitchen! And then onto the living room.

2) Moscow beckons. My visa came through without a hitch, I need only pick up my passport from the travel agent. Another step closer to Russia in December.

3) Edits. Before emailing the novel to Kerry for a last polish, I started a page one to page end read-through. This experience was affirmative as it was enlightening, because I now unreservedly concur with the agent who passed while extolling, “…it’s 90 percent there…” Between my efforts and Kerry’s I’m confident we can get damn close to nailing that last 10 percent. I’ll finish my end by Monday; the baton then passes to Kerry. Right now, I have 44 more pages of reviewing.

Look for a more substantial post on Thursday…

UPDATE: As of 10:49PM, Thursday, November 15th, nearly half the read through edits are implemented. Roughly 220 pages left.
