Well. \u00a0First face-to-face (other than Kate) over the finished manuscript. \u00a0Lonnie had some cogent critiques. \u00a0My experiment with multiple first person narrators didn’t work for her. \u00a0She also wanted to see more character development on major characters. \u00a0But, on the whole, she thinks Missing is strong and won’t “require a major rewrite.” \u00a0It was fun to talk about my work with someone in addition to Kate.<\/p>\n

Then the comedy began. \u00a0I picked up my eye drops (for glaucoma) and went to Walmart (I know. \u00a0But the price was $90 less than anywhere else.) to pick up two 50 pound barbells and two 45 plates for the leg press. \u00a050 pounds I can do. \u00a0But. \u00a0The two 45’s were in one package. \u00a0I cannot lift 90 pounds. \u00a0So. \u00a0The one time I really needed a knife, which I usually carry, I’d left it at home.<\/p>\n
