You have to be careful Paynesgrey because you know what they say about editing don't you?!

Editing Rots your Brain!!!  Beware the creativity killer~

No choice though...  A lot of unnecessary and redundant exposition in that first chapter... gotta dig the polish out of the turd.

It will gleam the purest gold, like Mark Twain's tears.

The part of the draft is stuff I wrote over 100,000 words ago... I'm spotting a good many flaws and problems I didn't realize were flaws and problems at the time.  Tense, telling, and some chunks of exposition that can be cut entirely.  It's coming together though.  Kind of like returning to a model kit you gave up on as a kid.  Suddenly how to do it right makes sense.  :)
