The Marker's first full edit was completed today. The manuscript runs 253 pages, and the word count, according to Word's word counter, is 50,813. At first glance, once the first draft was completed, the manuscript looked good; but in this first edit, there were many problems needing attention. The discouraging thing about it is during the next read/edit, there will be many more modifications needed.
Our side of the hill is in shade this time of the day, this time of the year. In the distance, from my upstairs window, right now, sunshine lights and sparkles across the city, river, and far side of the valley. Maybe we should take a ride into the light.
