Brief thoughts about revision

I have another request for revision for Claire's first book and I'm really excited about the possibilities.  The irony?  I've been working on a series of short stories taking place before chapter 3 of this book.  The revision request?  More showing/less telling in the first few chapters.

My brain hurts.  Where do I start?  I've been writing so much detail about this time frame and now I can probably lift a story or two for inclusion in the book and I'll be set to go.  But I have so many details to consider.  Plus?  My goal for the website is keep early stories and book separate.  So I need to pull details from stories not published on the site yet.  I can do this.  I can.

I'm moving this to my big sketchpad.
