I managed to revise Chapter nine before Pilates class and rewrite chapters ten and eleven afterwards. I spent the rest of my day trying to tighten and cut pages from the entire manuscript.
I did take a break and enjoy Heroes tonight. Lots of questions arose from tonight's episode though.
The invisible man is very cool. I'm so glad Peter has someone to help him.
I was also happy to see Claire and Zack becoming friends again. She also needs someone to help her. Someone she can trust and rescue her from her strange father.
I am curious as to who Claire's biological father is. My initial guess is Nathan Petrelli. I'm only guessing due to his shirt. It looked like something the future congressman who flies would wear.
I'm wondering what's going to happen to Claire's dad. Did you think for one minute that Sylar was dead? I sure didn't. It's sort of like all those teenage girls in horror movies who either walk into scary looking houses or stay in them when the electricity goes out and they hear a strange noise. They get exactly what they deserve.
I'm wondering what power the cop's baby will have. Also, how does his wife know it's her husband's and not the other police officer she was sleeping with? I guess if the kid has no super power we'll know who the biological dad really is!
Biggest surprise of the evening next to Claire finding her mom was Hiro's father. Who is he? And what makes him so powerful?

I showed Son the picture from the link. He didn't like it. But, he's a die hard Vader fan!
Glad to hear that your revisions seem to be going well. Again, sending lots of Luck to you! And a cyber hug{}, because I know you have to be stressing! *g*
Sounds like everything is coming together with your book.
LOL on your son! Hello kitty is more of a girly thing. I just thought it was so funny. I'm sure they photoshopped it! And thanks for the hug. Much needed right now.
Thanks Dru. It is coming together except now they need a new title. So I'm trying to polish and brainstorm. My tired brain can't handle the multi-tasking right now.
Nathan Petrelli was my first thought for Claire's biological dad, too. And I had the same thought about the cop's baby not really being his! As for Hiro's dad... he's Lt. Sulu from Star Trek, silly! *g* Or did you mean who is he in the Heroes Universe? Some super rich Japanese dude. ;)
Opps I should have caught up before I wrote about Heroes.
Why don't they let you pick your own titles?
LOL! I just commented on your last heroes post down below, Lissa!
Marriage for Baby is my title. That passed the marketing test I guess. They want the best title that will sell and sometimes what we authors come up with aren't as marketable I guess!
