The Marker Manuscripted

January 5, 2007

The edit of The Marker is going along as it should; most of yesterday was spent in this lofty endeavor. My wife was gone most of the day and when she called, about 5:30, I looked up from the computer to find there was not one light on in the house; other than the computer screen, I was in total darkness. However, my brandy snifter was amply supplied, so all was well.

Yesterday was also the day the entire file was put into novel manuscript form. Once pages 169 to 189 are printed later this evening, all will be "up to snuff" in terms of edit and print. My wife is reading over the edit for typo's and other problems. One more read through on my part; then put the final modifications into the manuscript and it should be done.

The goal for completion is squarely within sight.
