Yesterday waded through the pond that is Golden Gate ©, stepping across from lotus leaf to lotus leaf, adjusting the flower petals as RWG members had suggested.  All he way through mind you! I removed italicizing on Arabic personal names, and developed a glossary of Arabic terms. One character had his name changed, but not to protect his innocence. Grammar, punctuation and dialogue were improved … or so it is hoped. I verified all chapter segments included copyright info in the document properties. To be sure I had incorporated those suggestions I scanned it again, making more improvements.

A proposal to the RWG Programs Chair to let a local young author be one of the guest speakers at a future RWG monthly meeting was submitted. Hope it works, as she would give a new slant and freshness to RWG.

Today back to the segments on Sooley Base ©, and putting my scraps of paper brainstorm segments into the new WORD document which better displays the flow of the storyline. Let’s hope this sleight of hand works.

Repositioned all segments of previous Sooley Base chapters 1-5 into new format segment. Will have to do this with other five chapter segments, then renumber and split into new timeline flow, with new chapterization. I’d guess this will take a week, what with other tasks.
