The Stage is done!!! Well... kind of...

The initial writing of my next novel The Stage is done! But, as any writer will tell you, that's only half the battle, now begins the painstaking process of getting initial opinions on it, making changes, and editing. Hopefully I've gone through all the steps of getting everybody set and ready to read to see if I have to go in and make any major changes, but I'm hoping that I've done enough grinding on my own that it's going to be as satisfying a reading experience as I think it is. But you never know until it gets into the hot little hands of the readers as to how they are going to like it or not, you hope, but you never know. And hopefully I've culled my writing to the point that editing will be less painstaking than it was when I first started, but... I may be more than a little snow-blind to all of my writing pitfalls because they just become white noise at one point, and I know that I'm worse than most because I'm usually five sentences ahead in my mind of where my fat fingers are actually typing, which as we all know leads to more than one error, so we'll have to see if that expands the amount of time that its going to take to edit it. Especially since The Stage is around 500 pages long! But as I go back through it, and my mind is completely empty, because all that I had in there somehow found it's way on to the pages, I have a big smile on my face because I think it came out better than I imagined it would be and I am really excited to get it out there so all of the readers who've enjoyed the first two books in the series, and have been asking me over and over again when this third book would finally get to them, can finally read the massive, exciting, conclusion to my first series.
