Made a start on a manuscript review for a client. Lots of technical issues, but a promising story!
Book Review: The Demon-Haunted World, by Ann Druyan and Carl Sagan
Nonfiction 3/5
From one perspective, the universe as we understand it is logical and ruled by the laws of science, but for many people, myths and misunderstandings guide individual world views that then shape our governments and destiny. This book is a wonderful window onto why illogic seems at times to rule our world.
Manuscript review completed
Also, signed a new editing client while I wait for feedback on my most recent book from the publisher .
Book Review: Where the Crawdads Sing, by Delia Owens
Literary 4/5
Because Kya, orphaned and abandoned, is shunned by polite society—having raised herself in the marshy backwoods—she is the prime suspect in a murder. This book is beautifully written with compelling characters, a gripping mystery and a twist ending, but it was far too slow-paced for my taste.
Next project close to complete
Almost finished a manuscript review. 50 pages to go, and the write up. Hope to finish this week.
