Quick
update today. I’m taking a short break
from editing “Tears of Heaven” (ERMAHGAWD, I have an editor!) to post this
update.
Thirty
years ago, my mother asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, and I told
her I wanted to be a writer. She warned
me it wouldn’t be easy, that they would take the best work I had written, and
throw it back in my face. She wasn’t
wrong. I have enough
rejections (and lack of responses) to wallpaper a house (which ever writer
knows is the goal).
Last
week, in a flurry of heart-attack-level excitement I was notified that I would
be offered a contract. Offered the
contract. Signed the contract. And, finally, assigned an editor.
I’ve
wanted to work with a real, live, red-pen-in-hand editor, and iron-for-blood
editor more than you can imagine. (Sure,
sure, you can imagine quite a bit, but it’s still not enough.)
So
I’m moving like mad, getting the manuscript going, but every now and then I get
caught up reading my own work and I think, “Yeah, that’s not bad.”
Here’s
hoping you all enjoy it too. I’ll be
posting most updates on the status, the process, also some excerpts to whet the
appetite. Please like, share and mention
me to anyone who likes books!
And now the work begins! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteYou aren't kidding, either! If ever an author needed an editor, it's me!
