Now for the return journey

Okay, draft number two is all marked up. I suspect I have cut around 5,000 words, which will bring Loaded down to a lean 85,000 words (further recommending it to the YA market, I suppose). I now have to find the time to make the changes, which I fear will be a big ask in the next four weeks. I'm aiming to do at least an hour a night and possibly some during the day if I can wangle the necessary downtime. If Allen & Unwin calls, I need to be ready!
