Edits Done!

OK.  Well.  Not quite done.

But I've worked through my edit letter for MAGIC AND THE MODERN GIRL, tweaking here, twitching there, adding a page or two or five in that other place.

And damn, if it isn't a stronger novel for all that!

I've completed the edits on MAGIC.  This is the third book I've worked on with this editor, and I was actually able to predict, with almost complete accuracy, what she would request in the way of modifications.  (Yeah, you'd think that if I could have predicted it, I could have written it that way in the first place, but really, I thought I had!)

I'll read through the entire thing, page one to page the end, one last time, and then it jets across the ether toward publication.

And I move on to the new book.  In the new series.  With all new characters and magic and whatnot.

I can't wait!

Mindy, a bit writing-dazed, but pleased

Hmmm... edited now. The pesky auto-complete was doing stupid things.
makes a lot more sense!
Well done, Mindy! Go, you!

Go you!
Congrats on getting it finished! Can't wait to read it already. October. Must be patient. :)
Go you!
Yay! I just finished Sorcery and the Single Girl so I am eagerly awaiting October.
Whoo Hooo to you! This is my favorite time working on a piece - it's all done and looks good but for a few changes that you want to make it better. To me, it's like being almost done with the a jigsaw puzzle. Those last few pieces are absolutely the most fun.

A fan.

Hi! This is actually really exciting for me, I just read your book sorcery and the single girl and loved it! I wanted to find out if it was a series or not and well stumbled upon your blog. I just wanted to say I really loved your book and can not wait to read the next one. Good luck! I am sure the book will be amazing, you are a really great writer.

Re: A fan.

Thanks for the kind words! I just turned in my final edits for the third book in the series. On to the next writing project! :-)
