I’ve officially finished the first round of edits for False Awakening, my current WIP. A beta reader will soon start working on it and cover art has already been taken care of. It certainly feels like momentum is building and I’m on track to meet (or perhaps, dare I say it, even exceed) the general October deadline I’ve had in mind for some time. I am well aware however that there is still work to be done and celebrations will have to wait for now; anything can happen in the realms of editing and publishing.
Watching this manuscript slowly but surely become a book is hugely exciting and I can’t wait to have another story out there in the world for people to read and hopefully enjoy.
What are you currently working on? Are you happy with your progress?
Well done! Editing is hard. It’s great to get feedback on your work, too, though it can be hard emotionally to deal with it! Or perhaps I’m just too sensitive… 🙂 I’m in much the same place as you are: just about to start reworking an MS in line with editorial feedback, and I hope the book will be ten times as strong as a result. Good luck with your work.
Thank you! It’s always nice knowing others are in the same situation as you are. Good luck to you as well 🙂
How exciting! 😀 You’re kinda on the homeward stretch now then! Can’t wait to read it.
It’s always nerve-wracking sending it off to the readers, never knowing what they are gonna say. But you certainly sound really organised!
Make sure and let me know when you plan to release, I’d be more than happy to help with cover reveals or any other type of thing, if you want? 🙂 (No pressure, just an offer!)
That’s so kind of you! I’ll be sure and keep you updated with any progress. Thank you for the support 🙂
Very exciting, Callum! I’d love to help out with either a cover reveal or anything else that might be helpful. Let me know!
What a lovely offer. Thank you for the support! I’ll be sure and keep you posted 🙂
Woo hoo! What do you mean there will be no celebrations? Crack open that (insert drink of choice) and toast to your awesomeness. It’s the home stretch now 🙂
I suppose a little bit of celebration wouldn’t hurt 😉 Thanks for the support!
This is great to hear! I hope you meet your deadline! I know how hard it is to write a novel and how rewarding when it is finished. Keep up the fantastic work!
Thank you. I really appreciate the encouragement!
You’re welcome.
Great News!! Editing is the hardest part of writing. I am so excited for you and your journey. Me I’m still working in my Novel its been 2 years sheeesh!
It’s definitely a necessary evil! Thanks for the support 🙂
