Oooh, edits came back early. Guess what I’m doing today? I think I’m excited because Dragon Lords 8 is one step closer… SQUEE!
I’m very lucky to be working with such a great editor on the Dragon Lords projects. Someone who gets your writing style and the world is very important in the creation of a book. Just as important is someone who is not scared to state their opinion and call you out–even if it is to make you verbal justify and reason why you did what you did. Often this can lead to better clarification to the reader.
There have been times in the past that my publisher assigned editor as I come to a new place hasn’t meshed with me as an author–that’s not to say they’re bad people or bad at their jobs, just that we’re different when it comes to the vision of a book.
So, thank you editor may I have another (aw, come on, you got the Animal House reference, right?) I love you and your writers’ whip.
