When the Editor became the Editee and other marvellous tales.

And so the great adventure of revision comes to an end, leaving me to think upon what has come and gone. And, I guess, write about it. Seeing as I'm one of those people who supposedly writes things and this is a blog and it's supposed to have written things in it.

My manuscript, yesterday.

Editors, prologues and revisions, oh my...

It's been a crazy few months. In the last post I mentioned that 'The Silver City' (yes, the game of name pong is finally over with) was with the delightful Bothersome Words/editorial wonder Abigail Nathan for a long-overdue clean up via a professional manuscript assessment. I also commented that I foresaw plenty of work being required when it came back. Because despite being a writer who knows what he's doing, I'm also a writer who has no idea what he's doing.
