M-C on the go: All done… For now!

October23

Well here I am. Way too tired to fire up the laptop.
So I’m trying to blog directly from my iPhone.
But they are done, first revisions of Ancient Whispers are now out to my editor.

In a way, they were not easy. Partly because this was my first manuscript and I know there was so much that was wrong with it. I notice how different the earlier writing appears to me now. Not really bad, but not me somehow.

And the comments were made by one editor but because of a change in staff at Dorchester, the manuscript will now be edited by the senior editor. So maybe another reason to make me feel even more nervous.

But it’s done. Of course I don’t think it’s perfect but at this point, I don’t know what else to do. Cut a good 15,000 words and added about 9,000 words to the original version.

Time to relax for a micro second and think about the sequel!

Because there’s such a comprehensive add campaign (at least where I live), the tot really wanted to see it. Despite [...] […]
