Sometimes great ideas are just shit...

I had this wonderful idea of putting a dream Brendan has near the every end of the book and just knew it fit there, perfect....and I just moved it to earlier. Where it made a hell of a lot more sense not only structurally but emotionally. Which took a bit of reworking.

So I contacted my editor and found she hasn't had a chance to start working on the copy I sent her, last week, so asked her to hold off and I'd send her this one. I've worked up a neater version for her to work with, in Word, and even did a Table of Contents to help. I hope.

It's good I'm pretty much set with the story. Looks like word will come, tomorrow, that I'm taking a side trip from Seattle to San Francisco, on Monday, to help collect some fragile books. I'd be flying home the next morning. And Wednesday, I'm driving to Philadelphia for another collection and coming back.

So the week is shot for anything I might want to do. I'll need to get HNH off by Friday for copyright, LCCN and Reviews. Fun. I need at least an avatar I can attach to them. Dammit.

I'm getting a new idea...that I might build a cover image similar to the one I wanted using Shutterstock's images. It'd have to be a compilation of images, since they don't have anything close to what I really want. I may even have a photo I can scan in from my trip to Derry in 2002. There was still some serious scarring in the city.

I'll check into it when I'm back.
