I'm working on removing anything unnecessary from Althea and the Mysteries of Calculus. So far I've only removed 15 pages. At that rate, it would take me a year and a half to get it down to 350 pages. I'd better pick up the pace.
I'm also improving things that beta readers have asked me to. The characters need to move around a little more, and have little physical quirks. I'm working on that. D suggested that one of the characters might chew on their pencil when thinking, and then their pencil would bump into their mask. I like that image. I haven't found a spot yet where it will work, but I hope to.
Someone just asked to read the first book. I wondered what made him ask just now, since I haven't recently asked for readers. I realized maybe it's that school has ended.
If your school year has recently ended and you or your kids would like to read one of Althea's Math Mysteries, just get in touch at altheasmathmysteries@gmail.com. I'm still in need of beta readers.
