Editing Coming Along

There is not much news to report today. But as the old expression goes, no news is good news.

As I reported in my previous post, editing is coming along. I am currently beta-reading a physical copy of Kholvaria, as are some of my friends who have agreed to help. Reading a physical book is a great way to spot things I haven’t seen on the computer.

A lot of my editing is taking place during commutes on trains or busses, though some of it is done at work.

Last year, when editing Iris, there was a day I went to a Mexican bar in DC, ordered some chips and beer, and just edited the book for hours. It was a great way to get a lot of work done all at once in a fun setting away from home. I plan to do this again on Monday. I’m looking forward to it. I’m wondering which bar I will use – it has to be one that’s open during the daytime and is relatively quiet, so that does limit me somewhat. In any case, it should be fun!

So far I’m pleased to say that Kholvaria does not seem to have as many noticeable errors as Iris. That’s a good thing. It means I’ll have less work to do once I make all the changes.

When I do make the changes, it will be in one day all at once. That will be a big day. I hope to have that take place in early May, although that date is largely dependent on how fast my other beta readers can operate, which is a variable I cannot control.

In other news, my work on both Cassidy and Veznek has temporarily stalled. In order to move things along with Kholvaria, I have not touched either project in a while. I do not expect much progress to be made on either of them until after the new book is released.
