The first day back working on book 3 today editing, a long and painful process. BOOK 3 UPdate
So sat down with a cup of tea and stared off into space for a bit, its the beeing and author bit. then turned on the computer and uploaded all the software. then spent, wasted 2Hrs upgrading software! only to find the problem still there with Word. so made another cup of tea and opened up chapter 4 Yuks! lots of spelling and editing small rewrites and add-ins, 5hrs later had a cup f tea and a banana and stared off into space again beeing the author.
printed off the thred draft and listened to it on my scan and speech machine, wonderful bit of kit. as I can then hear how it flows and spot mistakes and odd things that creep in. so then went through it all again, O deep joy.
So Draft 6 finished end of chapter 4. So tomorrow I start on draft 3 of chapter two. its going to be a long day and lots of tea. However, once this is compleat I am free to start a new chapter 5 at last as edating and rewriting slows everything down.
So Chapter 5 Thomas finds himself at Hampton Court and the intreg begins. This is the chapter I have been waiting for, as to all the trips to Hampton court I have made researching. I am amazed no one has thrown me out! as I could be found sitting on stairs and in corners and once laying on the floor for a perspective.
Well, I am pleased with it so far, its made me laugh and cry when I hear it back so I hope it has the same effect on readers as book 1 and 2 has had.
so back to work tomorrow I will let you know how I get on. Thank you for your support and interest as my ego is in need of it. :-)
