Editing: 1-40

worked on the first 40 pages of the novel.  Just various things.  Editing is a much different process from writing -- even harder, in some ways.  There's no word count to quantify the work.  I miss that!  The first third or so of the novel is in a bit of a mess, and will take some re-writing to put some of the more obscure pieces in line with the plot as it developed.  The middle and latter sections are in much better shape, as they focus on two main story lines.
