Progress!

Ok, so it wasn't 10 hours of editting this week - but I did manage about 6 hours and reworked over 40 pages of my 190-page manuscript thus far. And now that I've added that tidbit, I'm off to see if I can edit a few more in the next hour (so that will be 7 hours in one week - 70% of the goal for the first week - not bad!).
