Book Progress Update - March 2008
Hello out there to all my friends. I hope you had a wonderful holiday season and are starting to see the beginnings of spring, as I am here in the Bay Area.
I thought it was time for another update, so here goes:
I didn’t get any book work done during the holidays, which I anticipated. Then Erik and I went on our yearly vacation. This time it was Argentina and Chili. We saw a tropical glacier in Argentina, and spent time camping in a national park in Chili. Then we boarded a wonderful ship to sail to Cape Horn and Avenue of the Glaciers. We had a wonderful time and you can see pictures of our trip on my personal web site.
Right after we got home I came down with a nasty bug called a Norovirus. It took me over a month to fully recover.
But I’m all better now. Stuart and I are back at work at the copy edit. There’s still a fair amount of work to be done, but we’re on Section 13, (out of 16.) Once that’s completed Stuart will do another read of the corrected chapters, and we’ll fine tune the text. After that we should be ready to send the manuscript to the publisher.
I will update again once we are done with this step and ready for the next step in the process. It’s taken a long time for this book to see the light of day, but this is my first novel and I’m willing to take as much time as needed to make sure the finished product is as good as we can make it.
In the meantime, I thank you for your patience.
