October 14, 2017: This week’s blog is a little early, but I have to let
the good news out or I will burst! Remember all those weeks of waiting? Well,
this past week was the polar opposite. On Monday, I returned a revision of my
Adult Mystery (BLOOD MONEY) to an Editor, and on Friday the 13th my
Publisher revealed the cover for THE SECRET OF ONE BELMONT LANE--plus I
received the Editor’s final revision. The book is due out by year’s end, so this
will be my third Saturday in a row chained to my laptop, BUT I LOVE IT! What did the two revisions have in common?
NOTHING. Each Editor requested different styles - of course, one is Adult genre
and the other is Pre-Teen. Two different editors=two different writing styles. In
the final revision of my children’s book, my Editor graciously pointed out a
couple of boo-boos I’d missed. Would they have been okay as they were? Maybe, but
thankfully, I have the opportunity to correct them. The only regret? My family
is cheering on THE VOLS without me. GBO…especially
THE PRIDE OF THE SOUTHLAND BAND!
