This is going more slowly than I wanted, since I have a lot of sources of stress at the moment (increasing responsibility at work, general stress at work, studying for P.E. exam, three kids, home ownership, Trump's totalitarian ways, etc.). But I am making progress.
Chapters 1 through 4 have been revised; chapter 1 pretty heavily. Chapter 3 needs a good deal of trimming down, but I think it's in a reasonably good place for this run-through. Chapter 5 is where things get tougher: where I introduce multiple secondary characters, etc. But I think I have a path forward now, and I think I'm beginning to solve the problems I created, or discovered, in the first draft.
I think I know what I'm going to do with the headaches. (that's meaningless if you haven't at least read chapter 1.)
I also think I've decided on a title for the thing, which accomplishes my objective of a title with a dual meaning. That's gimmicky, but...eh. Gimmicks aren't always a bad thing, right?
