So... Painless

Good morning, Readers!

Got this great little image from kalispellchiropractic.com. Click for link.

I received the first edits from my publisher for Daughters of Britain.  I was expecting it to be pretty painful, as edits generally are.  Only, it really wasn't.  Not even a little bit.  There were all of three comments on my prose, none of which were calling for major changes, and a smattering of punctuation fixes.

I edited it all in a day.  Granted, I had to skip training because I wasn't quite done when it came time to leave, but I got it all done in a day.

So, yeah.

I had expected to spend at least a week editing this thing, and so cleared my calendar.  Now, I have a tonne of spare time for the rest of the week.  I'm a bit lost about what to do with it, really.

What I think I'm going to do is get the video editing for the Uncharted 4 live stream highlight reel and also get back to reading.  There's a really entertaining science fiction comedy I need to finish.

So, that's my plan for the rest of the week.

I'll get back to writing Outworlder next week.  I've just passed the 50 000 word mark; so I'm halfway through.  I'm not sure I like this one.  I really like the concept, but I don't think I've executed it as well as I could have.  I don't know.  I go through this with every book I write.

Maybe it's shit.

Maybe it's fine.

I don't know.

I will be completing the story, of course.  I can't not.  But I'm not sure how it'll pan out.  Perhaps the first draft is all that will ever happen with this story.

This is not a new doubt.  Like I said, I have it with every manuscript.

Like I said, the concept is really good.

But I'm having my doubts.

Ah, the writer's life.... and mental state...

Anywho, I have to go and start video editing at a leisurely pace.  It's my week off.

​Ciao!
