Who says snowy days are all that bad? I posted two crits for Sue after the OWW came back online. Even better, I finished going through the third draft of LL. I'm not sure of what the word count was for the second draft; I think it was over 150,000. This draft is about 144,000--maybe a bit high for a first novel, but definitely much better than Day of All Seasons at over 170,000.

It's still not quite ready to submit. I'd like to go over it one more time and incorporate more of my OWW comments, for one thing. There are a couple of chapters I'd like more feedback on, but it's not worth posting them in isolation. Probably the best thing to do is e-mail them to reviewers. I also have to write up the synopsis. That might be worth posting to OWW.

I think I'll take March off from LL. In the meantime, maybe I can work on a short story that's been in my head for a while. And there's always the sequel to LL....
