Good Writing Day

In a burst of inspiration (and perhaps a touch of compulsion), I added some pages to "Game Faces" yesterday, bringing the total up to 269. First phase of the action sequence is done, but Tracy has a ways to go before she's out of her situation.

I've made two full readings of "The Changeling Kill" and found quite a few corrections. As many times as I went over it prior to sending to Write Words, I am amazed at how many things I'm finding that I simply missed. Examples: class instead of glass, Eight-seven instead of Eighty-seven. This is stuff that is clearly wrong when reading but that Microsoft Word's spelling and grammar check option will not catch.

Not sure if I'm up for a third go at it. While I may have missed some corrections in the first two passes, I worry that I will not be as diligent on a third because, frankly, I'm a little tired of the story for now. Should I stop at two readings and go with what I have? Proofreading is hard work.
