Polishing

     This morning I was polishing my latest novel---Last Alive---which is due to my publisher in a few weeks. Tracking down every "would" and every "ing" word. This seems simple: "I am starting to write a book" should be "I started writing a book." Fewer words are (almost) always better. Of course, a nice long sentence can change the pace or balance a string of shorter sentences. Anyway, that's what I'm working on today.
