But the work is going well!
Taking a week off
To edit a novel for Edge. This is very cool work. I have a great author to work with, who listens openmindedly (is that an adverb?! My spell-checker doesn’t like it) to my suggestions, though he has areas he wants to maintain. So far, I can see how he as done both — used my suggestions and kept the scenes he most wants — to great effect. I am really enjoying both his book, and the process!
Another short story in the mail!
That brings me up to six, currently. Love how the novel is coming. And–I think I mentioned that I am now fiction editor for Edge Press–I have my author, Ryan Oakley’s, rewrites as of today, and so will be putting most things aside for a bit to get him some feedback.
Okay, tomorrow I babysit my grandson, so I won’t put that aside. Boy, days sure are full!
Happy, happy!
So, returning to my novel, I am very happy! The opening is GOOD! I am inspired and energized to push on!
Trip to England and Christmas
…were both awesome! Since returning home, I have built an art studio in the basement (and cleaned the basement) and yesterday sent off 2 stories. Today I go back to my novel — I’m really excited!!
