Mission critical

pegkerr's daughter Delia and other children are trying to raise money to go to Space Camp. Time is running out to collect needed funds, and the group is still $7300 short . If you would like to make a TAX DEDUCTIBLE contribution (you just lived through tax hell and paid altogether too much and vowed with a fist raised to heaven that you would, as God was your witness, never pay so much again--now, you saw that movie, so don't give me that "huh?" look, ok) as well as make a bunch of kids really happy, now's your chance.

Any assistance most appreciated.

Rewriting

Reworking the beginning of J5. Ch. 1, some changes. Insertion of a new Ch.2, ground floor rewrite, completed today. Old Ch. 2 thus became new Ch 3. Reworked the beginning.

Then we brought out the long knives.

10 pages from old 2/new 3, Out. The old Chs. 3 (20 pages) and 4 (15 pages), Out. 45 pages total have bitten the buglight, and part of Old Ch.5 will be appended to the new Ch. 3.

This is exactly what I knew I needed to do. I need to lose a good 100-150 pages from what I have so far, and gee golly, I think I may be able to do it.

Afraid to say this too loudly, of course, or the Plot Pictsies will come to me in my sleep.
