8 chapters of The PURE edited so far this week, 1 chapter off pace, 2 days into my cushion. I have 4 chapters remaining. I’m so close but I sense the pace may be slightly rushed and some additional tweaks may be necessary.

The latest round of the NPR Three Minute Fiction contest is up with a deadline of 9/25.  I always enter this, so once I meet my 9/19 deadline for The PURE, my heart will belong to NPR.  That timing will fall outside this round, thank goodness.  As I have stated many times, I am bound and determined to get an honorable mention from NPR despite the wicked fierce competition.  I just have to find a superlative story in my head and transfer it into breathtaking words.  Simple right?

My cumulative statistics are on my ROW80-3 page.
