Great leaps and bounds on Restart of late. An oddly productive Spring Break actually, despite all the other chaos. It felt REALLY good to write.. and write a lot! I hate going in spurts though.
So what got done in Restart? Well lets see here.... mmmm... rescued a three year old, hired a secretary, and... oh lots of other stuff. Really... you thought I'd give it ALL away? For shame. I can tell you though that the book is at almost 500 pages and I'm not anywhere near done actually.
Actually I'm pretty sure that I'm the one most excited about this. Sitting down to write is like catching up with old friends and just.. hanging out. Sometimes you laugh, sometimes you cry...but it's never boring. It helps that this is set in Seattle I think.
Other things... punctuation!!! Bleh. The bane of my existence some days. I went back through and fixed the punctuation for the dialog in Soul of Evil, and cleaned up some of it as well. I rushed it to see it published. Not my best idea. However it's fixed now... and yes another proof is on it's way to me.
I've learned something though... especially with Restart. I order proofs when I've made huge changes, so that if I've gaffed it somewhere I can fix it. Does it cost me a bit? Yes. Is it worth it? I think so. It also gives me tangible proof that progress is being made, which for me is necessary.
Now if I could just get the cats to feed themselves...
