Editing The High Fortress

I'm astonished that this book contains more things to be fixed than its subsequent siblings.
Perhaps it is an example of a sophomore slump. The story is a quantum leap in excitement from its predecessor. Still there are things in the writing that need adjusting to align it with my following works.
When finished, the updated version will be vastly superior, my latest proof be damned.
In contrast the following books in the series are far closer to being published: The Roof of the World, The 13th Book.
The Mirrored Room awaits completion of these three, then its on to Faithless Heart.
Oh, woe is me. The process should take me into next year before I return to the act of creation, which is where my heart truly resides.
Still, reading, proofreading, copy editing have all added to the quality of my writing.
One of the most important things I have gained understanding and appreciation of is the comma.
