From Michael Crichton

“Books aren’t written - they’re rewritten. Including your own. It is one of the hardest things to accept, especially after the seventh rewrite hasn’t quite done it.”

    Over the hump, I think, although one of the books is turning out to be longer than I’d originally planned.

    At 54K out of 90K (but it might go to 100k) on The Missing

    At 34K out of 40K (but it might go over, dunno how much) on Beautiful Girl

    Also started up a proposal and as long as I get to 20K on it in the next month, I’ll consider that a win.
