I’m once again reading Part Two of my book, and so far it’s been okay.  There are still weak moments, of course, but they’re small and quickly fixed.  So far it looks as though I can keep my promise to myself that all major rewrites have been done.  My dad’s reading Part One, nice and slow (he’s only on Chapter Six), but he’s given pretty good advice.  It seems I have to redesign the bad guy because right now he’s too much like the Emperor from Star Wars (big surprise there).  That chapter is much better than it was before, but it’s actually still pretty weak.  I’ll have to look it over soon.
