Chapter 34.1: Edit update

Just a quick update for those who are interested. I'm moving a bit slowly on the edits of the book, but I've accomplished some of my initial goals. Tonight I put red Xs through a page or two of detail that readers won't miss. Keeping my Ideal Reader in mind, I recognized that the wistful ruminations of my lead character on sports as he watches hockey on a bar television weren't necessarily pertinent to the story. Not bad writing, but it goes. I'm in the 130s and went through a somewhat too graphic sex scene before calling it quits for the night. I'm one-third of the way through, and I think I've cut out more than I've added.
