The next revision is in the can! This one took me about six months, but to say that is really misleading. At most I get a few hours a week to work on it, and that time is often scattered in 20 minute blocks. But still, I got through it, and I’m really happy with how it turned out. It helped to have alpha reader #1 chasing me. His moments of slack-jawed wide-eyed amazement was more motivation than I would have imagined.
So what happens next? I’m considering two paths. I’d like to have someone else read it — maybe get an adult opinion on the whole thing. But on the other hand, I know that I’m eventually going to need to break down and send this to an actual editor. That thought terrifies me to my very core, but I know that is one of the hurdles that I’m going to have to overcome if I’m ever going to say that I’ve been “published”.
In the meantime….book 2 awaits.
