Preamble

The first thirty pages received a cursory rewrite last night in anticipation of partial requests (fingers crossed). The biggest addition is an ethical dilemma for Yarn. I am going to revisit the Prologue tonight to rethink some awkward lines uttered by the XO.

After a couple weeks I discovered that the readers started their efforts late. I'm not even sure any one of them has made substantial progress. Hopefully I'll have something to work with before beginning Winter Break.

Still reflecting on my query letter. Should I downplay the political aspect of the novel in favor of elucidating Yarn's struggle?

The Sounds rock, by the way. So do Foster's Oil Cans.
