Summer Moon of the First Harvest
I will finish the third revision of Missing this week. There are putzy things to do after that like mark all scenes as 3rd draft revised, note all place, object and characters in the notes section of scrivener, change headings for consistency and monitor transitions. I will also spend a bit of time considering the new draft from the standpoints of narrative coherence, focus on John and Graham and John’s disappearance and action.

At that point, probably two weeks from now, possibly less, I’ll turn it over to Kate for a careful read, i.e. grammar, spelling, logical consistency, continuity. When she’s done, I’ll see if any of the beta readers want a crack at version III. In the interim I’ll go back to research and plotting for Loki’s Children.
