brainstorming

While waiting for people to read #6, I brainstorm ideas for other novels. I am working on about six more ideas at once. Then after #6 is published, I'll be able to focus on the next one.

Ready to send to others

I am happy with #6, so now I am ready to send it to others to look at it. It may be a while before I hear anything back.

Finished inital reading

The first reading of #6 is done. I want to let it sit for a short time so I can see what secondary impressions surface. Then I'll seek others' opinions.

Slowdown

I am into the heart of #6, and the initial reading is going slower as the ideas get trickier.

Initial reading

The initial reading of #6 is going smoothly. I thought that I would have many more things to fix, but I'm not running into much. Maybe I had proof read the first chapters before sending it to typing and just forgot that I did it.

Typist comments

It is always good to hear my typist's opinions on my writing. Yes, the writing will change through proofing. It is usually the first boost encouragement.

editing

I got (Neal Harris #6) back from the typist. I'm going through the major comments that I'd made for things I needed to add or correct.
