I'm working on revision again today, concentrating on tight sentences, significant images and interesting dialogue. It occurs to me that I should think about making jumps forward in time throughout the day. It's difficult to cover every minute of the day and I don't want there to be lulls in the narrative.

I need to start thinking about my reading at Malaprops coming up in a few weeks. What material should I read? I don't feel like I'll be comfortable with reading any part of the novel so soon so I think I need to have a couple short stories prepared. This week I might turn my attention away from the novel to polishing "The Catskills" and working on another of my unfinished stories. I'll blog more about them when the time comes.

That's about all I have for today.
