Getting Work Done

I've had a busy morning working on Thread of Evidence. I managed to get seven chapters edited and revised this morning, adding or subdividing chapters. I have five more chapters than I had when I started. I've done my best to bring the word count down, and was doing well on that, however, it's back up again, with some needed dialog and description. With subdividing chapters, I've also increased the page number. I don't know if it's going to be possible to bring this 760 page novel to heel. We'll see. I'm on page 200 something, and feel like I've been on a roller coaster ride this morning. So, I'm going to take a break and spend the afternoon here with you. I was right about the snow disappearing. It's almost gone. Temps were as high as 49 this morning. However, it has started to come down as the rain is supposed to stop and change over to snow in a couple hours. It's already come down 6 degrees, and should see falling temps the rest of the day. We could be in for glare ice before the night gets too far gone. Might be a bit hazardous going to the pool tomorrow. That's been my day. How has yours been? Thanks for reading.

@just4him I didn't enjoy the snow as I was sick when there was snow.

It's always good to have a productive day. I hope so too. It should be changing over to snow soon according to the info I just looked at.

Take it slow. I'm glad I am not out driving in the morning on these streets. Rained last two days so we will probably have some black ice.

It's crazy here too. We had warmer temps yesterday, melting most of the snow, then it turned to snow overnight and we're back in the lower temps for the next week again.

There is no more snow on the ground, today is incredibly warm and it seems that it's not going to snow even the next few days.

Can you explain what 'glare ice' is please? I've heard of black ice but not glare ice.

It's the same thing as black ice, with the exception that the sun shines off it so you can barely see the road. Very slippery like black ice, which you don't see until you're on top of it.

@JudyEv I find that's true with a lot of statements I'm not familiar with.

Oh, I didn't know you're an author. Look up to your profile and found that you already published 3 books. Wow. Congratulations! I know I am too late but I want to congratulate you. You have a productive day. Take a rest after. By the way, the weather here is windy.
