The reading has begun!
Maureen, mechanical pencil in hand, has begun to read my first novel. While she was doing that, I continued with the edits and have now completed a third of the book, which has been trimmed by 5,000 words. I think I'm still on pace to cull 12,000 from the first draft, and I know Maureen has recommended cuts already. I believe that by Memorial Day I'll have her edit suggestions in hand, and perhaps I'll have the book re-written by the first weekend in June. Perhaps. My other initial readers will have copies long before the next major holiday weekend. I hope to have done my agent research by Labor Day if not sooner.
