Taking a Break...
The deadline looms for the release of RED CITY... the fifth and final Tractus Fynn Mystery. To say the story goes far afield is to say little.
My publication date is set for May 29.
Currently, I'm on the final drafts. I generally do 12, and I'm on 9. At this point, my computer is reading back to me (Think Siri or Stephen Hawking-- closer to the former). I run it with several voices. I "hear" lingering errors that I can no longer "see." I also get a sense of cadence and rhythm. If the computer can make it sound good, I know I'm done. The final draft is read aloud by me, and I'm hoarse by the end of it....
The last step is of course formatting-- and I've found a way to do it without ever opening MS Word! Praise Heaven!
Hope to be back next week...
