Wiped Out

It's been a long editing day. I subdivided another long chapter. The last chapter I edited was the most difficult of the entire manuscript, so far. It was also a long chapter.
I don't know how many chapters are left, but I can tell you I have 31 pages left to edit. I'm almost finished and will be tomorrow.
I'm wiped out. My brain is fried, my back needs my massage cushion, and I need downtime. Hopefully, the rest of the manuscript will be easy. That would be wonderful.
Do I still like every aspect of writing and publishing, you bet. If an author didn't edit their work, you would be reading trash. My aim is to make this the best it can be.
When Thread of Evidence is ready to publish, it will be the best I've done so far as every book gets better as you work at your craft.
I need to break away from the computer. I hope to be back before I go to bed, but I can't guarantee it. Thanks for reading.
This is the cropped picture for the back cover.

I'm sure it's a lot of work but if you love what you do that's most important! :)

I really like this picture. I know how stressful being stuck at a desk and having to use your brain can be. It is exhausting. Hope you had a good break.

I'm glad to say, it's finished. 
I almost had a full night's sleep last night. At least I woke around 3 instead of 2.

Yes, you did say you would crop the picture. It looks nice but the original one with the wreath was nice too

Yes, it is, but not suitable for a back cover for the book.

@freelancermariagrace Not yet. Only the initial editing is finished. I still need to submit it to my publisher. When it's published, it will be time to celebrate.

@just4him Wow, so does it have to do with a sabotage in the fashion industry? Sounds very interesting. Love it.

@just4him The Christmas photo was lovely, but the cropped version isn't seasonal. It is very professional, I really like it:)
