Here’s the latest update!  So where are we?

So what have I done the last week(s)?

  • A Bridge To The Quiet Planet: Done with the editing – and the eBook cover!
  • Way With Worlds: I got the next book finished.
  • Other: Nothing overly big.

What am I going to do this next week?

  • A Bridge To The Quiet Planet: I’ll start the final pass on the book to get it ready for publication.  It’s mostly done except for some formatting issues and a few quick checks.  Right now I’d say it’ll be out very end of November or start of December.
  • Way With Worlds: I’m going to outline the next book probably so I can work on that while publishing the other.  Which might not be my smartest choice.
  • Other: I’m going to see how it goes.  I know I got all sorts of stuff I want to do, but . . . then again Thanksgiving week slows down, so who knows!

The Editing Haul

(This column is posted at www.StevenSavage.com and Steve’s Tumblr.  Find out more at my newsletter.)

OK folks, I’m in the end run of editing A Bridge To The Quiet Planet.  This is a long haul, and there’s a lot to do, so I might not be posting here as much for November . . . or I’m going to be making all sorts of bizarre and incoherent assessments.

It’s weird to finish up a novel.  It’s been awhile since I’ve done fiction, and I forgot just how much it differs from nonfiction.  Fortunately with my great pre-readers and my fantastic editor, it looks pretty good.

However, I’m also a perfectionist, so I’m taking an extra run to get this right.

Stay tuned . . .
