I’m working overtime to conclude the production phase of my Work-In-Progress. I have a cover commissioned, I think I found myself an editor, and I am busily finishing my final copy edit pass. Copy editing is slow going. I look at two main things: 1) The flow of each sentence I want the words to […]

Over the next two weeks I went through the standard revision process that I’ve spoken about here. When that was done, my […]
