Progress Report.

Inking up a manuscript during editing tends to make the thing pretty hard to read.  Add to that many new inserts hand-written on lined paper and stuffed in here and there.  The manuscript becomes pretty slovenly.  I spent a few days making all the changes through Chapter 8 to the electronic version.  (Incidentally, the chapter designations of the first few drafts will all be divided up into more chapters later, but that's another story.)  The first 8 chapters, which in the first draft ended at page 190, now end at page 286 (1.5 line spacing).  Now need to print out all those crisp, clean pages and return to Chap 9, already in progress:  the first few hours in New Orleans.
