All chapters of The P.U.R.E. have been run through Autocrit.com.  Hallelujah!  But what a God-awful process that was.

I loaded the MS on my Kindle for a final read-through edit and have also started the dreaded comma search.  Commas are not my bag and the hunt for homes for them has been as harrowing as managing an animal shelter full of senior dogs and cats.

The bright side is my Six Sentence Sunday snippet from The P.U.R.E. got a positive reception.  That’s the nice thing about doing later edits and read-throughs–new jokes and angles and snappy dialogue bits reveal themselves. The punch line of my SSS was a late addition and the star of the post.  I posted during 2010 NaNoWriMo about how my writing is similar to painting a picture.  I still feel this way–it’s a multi-layered process.  Hopefully I have enough layers on this baby because it’s headed to the publisher (sometime before midnight.  LOL)

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?
