Editing.

What have you been working on?

“It is what you read when you don’t have to that determines what you will be when you can’t help it.” Oscar Wilde.

I’ve been busy editing my novel, Stone Angels. It seems a strange thing to be doing especially as the book has been published. So you’d think that it would be perfect and not need a lot doing to it. My new publisher has allowed me to read through the book again and I am so glad to have this opportunity especially as I found quite a few errors. What I find strange is that none of the 85 reviews the book received commented on the mistakes.

Reading through the book has allowed me to clarify some areas, which I now find to be oddly written. This, I think, is because my writing has improved over the last four years. I shall see this as a good sign. Hopefully, my new publisher will employ a better editor.

I know it’s hard to see mistakes in your manuscript but having a four-year break from the book has helped me see them more clearly. Hopefully, when I work on my other two novels, I will be able to make improvements, too.

I’m looking forward to working with my new publisher and hopefully, Stone Angels will reach a wider audience this time.

My thigh muscle is recovering nicely. I’m looking forward to walking again.

Chat again soon.
