Tomorrow - Next Step in Revision
This morning I had the extreme pleasure of a Skype call with my editor extraordinaire to discuss the changes necessary on your next delicious read.
It was with a massive sigh of relief that I ended the call because the changes are all do-able.
And let me tell you, boy, it's not always that way.
One book was such a mess that I had to tear it apart, bring someone who was dead back to life, delete chapters, write new chapters.
I don't think you want me to go on with the extreme work that revision entailed.
Then there was the last book which you're probably tired of hearing about. I know I am.
It never saw the light of day, but I might revisit it at some point.
Tomorrow I gleefully head into the changes necessary to get the book to my editor for the copyedit which is the part where we take the prose and make it sing.
All I have to say to the book writing gods is THANK YOU!
I don't know about you but I'm excited!
