Slightly less dark thoughts

Okay ... I'm out of my mini-depression. Yesterday was just a bad day. I get them more often than I'd like.

Update: Cold Witness isn't doing much at this moment, largely due to my brother's birthday celebrations over the weekend, and the fact that I'm having to put in serious revision time for the exams. I'm only just at the 33K point (as you can see), and I wanted to be at 50K by the end of May ... zero chance of that now. And I'll be surprised if I get 10K in June. Too many exams.

So, it looks like PCW won't be ready for submission until October, possibly September. Here's what I need to do:

+ Finish second draft
+ Read through and note problems
+ Add or delete scenes as necessary
+ Preliminary line edit
+ Send manuscript off to Justin for crit (possibly others too)
+ Third draft (minimal revision, hopefully no new material required)
+ Final line edit on manuscript copy
+ Prepare for submission
+ Agent research

So, I've still got a long way to go. Let's hope I can get most of the work out of the way this summer.
