After several days devoted to editing Mark's oeuvre, I managed to work for about 4-5 hours on TRF today. I edited down a lot of the first section, getting it down from 130pp to 79 - and then began to write a new version of it. Most of the next dozen chapters will be largely new material - but I have highlighted sections or phrases that I am going to lift.... I want Lucy to go and live either in a commune or a feminist flat share in short-life housing, but haven't quite decided which... they both have potential, maybe I'll combine them somehow... 3 months in the commune - deterred by winter in an unheated squat - takes up the offer of the feminist flat share? She will not find it quite the nurturing environment she hopes for...
