As promised, I've been editing, editing, editing. I've got about 80 more pages to run past the writer's group. At an average of 10 pages per week, it'll take 8 more weeks. Then the real fun begins! I've had full manuscripts out to beta readers and I'll go through those suggestions as well.
It amazes me that after almost two full years there are still major things which need to be changed or fixed. I wish I had the funds to hire a pro to give the book one more thorough edit... But, even that doesn't guarantee the book will be perfect. I guess the old adage about a piece of art never being finished is true. Especially when you read articles about successful authors, such as Stephen King and John Grisham, who've had inconsistencies pointed out sometimes years after a book has been in print!
Full steam ahead toward publication!
