Editing Finished

I spent the day working on Thread of Evidence, determined to get it finished today. I've been very moody lately because this is an emotional roller coaster ride from beginning to end. Thread of Evidence currently has 197,666 words and 596 pages. It's printed and in my friend's hands. She will read and proof it for me, before I will go through it for hopefully the last time before I start the publishing process, when I will go through it again when I get it from the publisher - CreateSpace. Right now, I have a smile on my face and am very happy it's finished and ready for the last steps in the process. That is what I've been doing today. What has your day been like? Our rain has stopped, the sun is out, there are white fluffy clouds in the sky, and the children are out playing. It's a good way to end the day. I'm already looking forward to my next project which I think will be Destination Love, also a finished manuscript. Despite it's title, it's not a romance. Now, it's time to get notifications going. It will be an early night as I will be going to the pool tomorrow. It's weigh-in finally and I'm looking forward to what the scale will tell me. Thanks for reading. Picture is the cover for the book.

I'm glad your book Thread of Evidence is finished. It's a long story, this one is extra long!

Yes, it is extra long, but it's a roller coaster ride beginning to end. I did cut it down somewhat, but not a lot.

My day was busy and frustrating at work. I was happy to get home and take a nap.

@just4him this has been an interesting project. As much as about the images I choose and deciding on page layout as it has been about writing.

@valmnz I'm sure it was, considering the subject is postcards. It should be very interesting.

@JudyEv Yes, it is. I met her when I joined Writer's Guild, but it was two years ago when we became very good friends. I invited her to go with me on a three day holiday, and we had so much fun and got to know each other very well. I'm so glad she's part of my life.
