Awesome progress guys!
I started my second book, a sequel to the first. It's only at 1200 words so far.
Out of my two beta readers one is sending their copy back to me with notes and opinions. I'm looking forward to seeing what she thought. She did message me saying, "When's book 2 coming out?!" lol! :D
My second beta reader is half way through the book and he tells me he's really enjoying it so far. 8)
So good news all around!!! The only bad news is I had a bunch of story ideas this morning and failed to write them down and now I think I'm missing one...drat! ::)

Revision, revision, revision... I'm in the cutting down mode and fighting for a decrease of 250 words every five pages or so. My first rough draft word count of 88,642 and since then subsequent drafts have lowered it to a far tighter 82,088. The goal is 75,000, which is still longish for my target audience--lower YA/upper MG.
Then, after DFW conference, I made a major revision decision to change over to present tense. Halfway through that revision, I rest at 77,246. I'm convinced it will settle under my 75,000 goal. The present tense is a scary change, but my main character is basking in the new intimacy and my editing soul is devouring the new tight configuration.
