Trim, Trim, Trim Challenge: Update 4086

Posted on September 25th, 2009 jean No comments

Hi.

While I try not to burn supper (fabulous breakfast-supper), I bring you this update. Hang on, gotta stir the scrambled eggs…okay. I am down to 23 single-spaced words to edit through. I am also down to…stir the hashbrowns. Rescue toast…93,485 words. At this point, I’m thinking about 92,500 could be a nice resting place with the manuscript. Turn off eggs. Honey on toast. In a few days, we’ll see how close. Salt hashbrowns. Unwrap bacon. Head to watch ‘My Little Pony movie’.

‘Til then…yours in editing,

Jean

Book Review: Goodnight Nobody

Book Review: Goodnight Nobody
By Jennifer Weiner

Take suburbia, take cookie-cutter, large, new homes, take the scariest uber, super-dee-dooper mom you know and magnify her, then multiply her, put it all together along with some literal backstabbing…and you have the backdrop for Goodnight Nobody.

Kate Klein is a former-reporter who has 3 children who are all 3 and under. Due to a stroller-napping int he big city, she finds herself safely tucked away in the Land of the Lost, i.e. suburbia. It all seems like a typical ‘I don’t fit in, please help me God’ day until she arrives at a playdate to find the uberest super-mommy lying in a puddle of her own blood. Kate slips into detective mode (but only while her children are in playschool) and resolves that come hell or high water, she will solve this crime. Naturally, she ruffles many feathers, freaks out her over-protective husband and maybe, just maybe, collects the attention of a former flame.
