Finished Printing At Midnight
January 24th, 2013It’s been a year since I printed out the manuscript for a new novel. It’s been a lot longer than that since I printed out the manuscript for a new science fiction novel, but here it is, all 394 pages of it.
I get to read this over the next few days while doing final revisions. Given the additional work — and the 9,000(!) additional words — that have gone into it over the last two-and-a-half weeks, I’m desperately hoping it still hangs together. For scheduling reasons, I need it to be “done” on Monday.
Wish me luck. Wish me confidence while you’re at it, because confidence is something that tends to wax and wane on projects like this. I loved this story a month ago. I hope to find I still do.

Thank you! 105 pages into so far, and so far, so good.

I’ll be there when it is published and this time I’m make sure to buy it from your digital store. Good luck!

Ooops. Hit the comment button right as I noticed the grammar error. That’s why I couldn’t be a writer/editor. 🙂

Thank you, Eddie! Very much appreciated.
And I failed to correctly proofread my earlier comment. 🙂

What Paul Said (confidence *&* luck). I have faith in you, we all do. And how soon 🙂 can I see it?
