Congratulations to all who worked steadily throughout the month, regardless of the color of your bar at the end of the month. Also, many thanks to our good-looking cheerleader, Woody.

Around Thanksgiving I decided to find a beta-reader and get things ready for the boards. Since that time I've changed my mind. I may not have written a publishable novel (they aren't my characters, in case nobody noticed), but I'm still proud enough of my work that I'm going to do a proper job of editing. Honestly, it's not that rough of a rough draft. I didn't do any word padding or chase any rabbit trails. By the boards standards, I could probably beta it and post it as is, but I think I want to edit it more in the way recommended in No Plot? No Problem!
