WALLS in the Can
Today I finished the backwards read-through and put the final touches on the novel version of The Walls of the Universe. It's off to the agent. Ahhhhh. It feels good to be done.

Now what?

Paul

You could always tango.

Or nap.

No nap, but Claire took one for all of us. Watched brainless TV while Stacey was out on errands.

"No matter how many times you save the world, it always manages to get back in jeopardy again. Sometimes I just want it to stay saved! You know, for a little bit? I feel like the maid; I just cleaned up this mess! Can we keep it clean for... for ten minutes!"

"That's because for every superhero around to clean things up, there is an equally dynamic super villain to mess things up again."

What's this about a backwards read-through?

A trick to find typos. Read the book backwards chapter by chapter so you don't get lulled into the narrative and skip over mistakes.
