Happy New Year!
I hope the New Year finds you all well. My big news is that
I finished the first big edit to the sequel of Screwing Up Time. My goal was to finish it before the New Year.
Okay, my goal had been to finish it before Thanksgiving. But the seven family
surgeries of 2011 took care of that very, very fast. Still, I’m pretty excited
that it threw off my goal by only a month.
Now my first beta reader has the book. She’s looking for
plot inconsistencies or holes. As soon as she’s finished, I’ll get back to
work. For my next edit: I’ll be fixing any plot holes or boring parts
(hopefully, there aren’t many). After that, I’ll do a voice edit. That’s where
I’ll get into the nitty gritty of the text to make sure that the book “sounds
right.” Mark/Henry tells the story and if it doesn’t sound that way, the novel
will fail.
