Today I finished revising the three opening chapters of my novel. These are the ones that have given me the most problems. Tomorrow, I'll send them off to my editorial adviser. Unfortunately she is busy with her own work, so she won't have time to look at the chapters for a while.
But at least, this time, I have the rest of the novel to revise while I wait. Plus as the first section is only about 8,000 words long, I can probably prevail upon one or two ready-to-be critical friends (even Friends) to read it as well.
So it's good news, but low key.

Same over here. 40 and a bit pages of final final version complete out of 60 and a bit on the jazz sym. I have to press on with it now as the premiere is in South Dakota in Spring 2007. There is also an orch in Sydney for an 07/08 performance and one in Kentucky for 2008. No interest from the Brits yet. It gets more complicated as once the 92 instrt version is complete, I have to immed. produce it for 72 and also 60 instrts (3 versions in all). I am also tempted (for fun) to do a 2- or a 4- Piano version!
