I’ve been really busy today doing final changes to book two. The pre-release copy will be available at BN.com by Monday.
I hear a lot of people talk about being on x draft of their story. I don’t write by drafts. I do what I’m told you shouldn’t do and edit as I go. For me it works out pretty well because it gives me more time to visualize the upcoming scenes. When it gets down to deadlines like it is now, I get emails with search phrases in them. I go into the document and do a find and then make the changes the editor is suggesting.
Most changes by this point are done on the publisher’s side, but there’s usually a few things that the editors don’t want to leave to chance, especially in dialogue.
So there’ll be some formatting and editing changes between this version of the pre-release and the final release at the beginning of September, but there won’t be any story changes. So if you’re anxious to see the next book, you won’t be missing anything except
GoldenDruid ’s awesome finished cover. :)
I plan on getting both the prerelease and the final one because its MY book. :)
