Nearly there

Well, the novel rewrite is technically done - and I don't appear to have lost any words in the process, which is good, because I was right on the nail (60,000 words) when I started.

And now I know what the book's about. Isn't that good!

Now I've got 2 pages worth of threads that need beefing up (if you can beef up a thread) and making consistent throughout. This is revision rather than rewriting.

I've got 6 working days to do this in, so all bacteria and viruses have been ordered OUT of my immediate vicinity and lower backs commanded to STAY STRONG.

In other news, my son Jack got his provisional driving licence on Monday. I taught him as well as I could - now it's up to the rest of you to be patient with him.
