Greetings again, to all six of you readers!

It's rather amusing, when writing this Blog, to realize that only six people read it!  Obviously I can't encourage any more readers to come check it out by writing anything here!

Luckily, I get a lot of satisfaction in just writing the books; so it doesn't matter a huge amount how many people read them!   (I guess I just conflated the readership of the books with that of the blog, for which there is no good reason, really.)

I'm doing two sorts of things when editing the books, apart from checking the grammar and the syntax, and the spelling, that is:  Firstly, I try to unwind a lot of the flashback there was.  There still is some, which would be difficult to rip out without making a mess.  For instance, there is this episode where Helen goes camping with a couple.  It is mentioned in about three, or even four places, and I decided to just leave it there; it is too hard to make things perfect.

Secondly, I actually introduced an episode or two that had not been in the manuscript at all.  This would make the story a tad longer, but at the moment, we have it down to 136,000 words, give or take a few, and about 300 pages in Word.  (I set up a page size that would be nice to read on a tablet, if I converted the book to Pdf, which of course I'm not planning to do for Smashwords.)

I have to take breaks from the editing, because the last thing I want to do is to get Helen Fatigue, which is a weird phrase that comes up in the story, incidentally.

Well, that's all for now; I might be done with this work much sooner than I expected, but you don't get to see it before June 21, 2019.

Thank you all for your support; I really appreciate it!
