I was quite excited to get the package (and
to be honest still am) and immediately after my real man went off to work I
settled down to business.
Delighted!
Getting down to business.
Spreading out (notice the "leftover" Christmas chocolate to keep my strength up)
Crikey - lucky I've got my glass of wine and lucky pig!
I was really pleased to see that my editor had kept in all my little jokes and asides but there were (what do I mean were??? I've barely started) quite a few things to check out, change or correct. Nothing big but still there!
This is the first time I have seen the book
paginated and as it is severely cross referenced I have to (I assume) put the
correct pages where it says "(pOO)" - not poo! - which requires a lot
of flicking about. This is the first
time I have ever done this so I am learning as I go, I hope.
~ I
have been using a gel pen but I realise now that when I was told to use a biro that
was probably for the best.
~
With all the cross checking I have decided to keep a handy list of the
most referred to pages.
~ I am going to hang my glasses on a string round
my neck because I need them to read print in artificial light but can't see the
computer screen properly with them on.
~
I shall try to remember to keep the fire topped up with wood and to
stretch now and then.
In other News ...
I get a newsletter from Writers Digest and
a recent article concerned "5 Things that should be on Every Writer's
Bucket List" and I am delighted to have accomplished the last one on the
list which is ...
"5. Live poor for a few months (or years)"
You may then wonder why there are so many
fresh flowers in the photos above well they cost 15p a bunch! We're very good at bargains.
Goodnight
