In addition, I can&#8217;t see what I&#8217;m writing because my reading glasses aren&#8217;t strong enough, and my prescription glasses are messed up.

Instead of worrying about the military details, I&#8217;m going to worry about the mystery plot. Most of the story takes place at Camp Blessing. A couple of scenes take place in the field. I think what I will do in this &#8220;first&#8221; draft is get down the mystery elements, and then fill in the military details, nor not even bother with the military details. I&#8217;ve got a few side &#8220;mysteries&#8221; going on so far already.<\/p>\n<p>I received two readings for the <em>Grimaulkin<\/em> audio book. He&#8217;s got Scott down. Mike isn&#8217;t bad&#8211;I hear him in my head with a gruff, slightly Maine\/New England accent. Frank is pretty good; sounds like he has smoked way too many cigarettes and is jaded and slightly angry. Frank does not suffer fools gladly, so it fits.<\/p>\n<p><em>Water<\/em> is expected out August 15.
