Just a quick note that I’ve reached the next stage in the writing process: sent off a complete draft to an editor. (To several, actually. But I’m very excited about one…) It’s made me think that editors are unsung heroes–like batting coaches. The good ones have a huge hand in the final product, but aside from a small mention in the acknowledgments, basically get no public credit for the work they do.
While it looks like I *could* maintain the original time line, with a “Fall 2011” publication (which would give me to December 21st, I guess), it looks like I’ll add another step into my process and have a professional designer work magic on it. I’m not sure exactly how long that will take, but I’m near certain that it’ll be 2012 before you’ll find it on Amazon.
Good work Steve but does this mean I have to scratch off your book from the gifts I was going to give this Christmas? 🙂
