On the last Thursday of June 2008, I turned in work which was then telephone conferenced with five other writers on the First Thursday of July. Since then, I’ve been doing the same, uploading my 30 pages of manuscript, plus whatever else Vannucci may dictate necessary on one Thursday for telephone review and critique on the following Thursday. Beat the Book is the name of the writing project/task force I’ve paid the fee to be a part of — a project I hoped would force me to focus on “Irene.” And it has. Yesterday, on the 1st of February, I began the rewrite/revision process on 400 pages of manuscript that includes THE END centered on the last page. I will be posting revised pages here. I will be eager to read comments from a select few I will share the password with to access this password protected site. My apologies, but movement between chapters will need to go through the Table of Contents; I’ve added “return to TOC” at the top and bottom of each chapter. emailing questions, or if you’d prefer your comments are private to me, at lynnduedoiron@gmail.com OR lynnsie_d@yahoo.com
