The Edits Are Nearly Done @Solsticepublish

Responses to my cover reveal have been very positive.  It excites me and
spurs me to finish my edits.  Editing is so much different from
writing.  When you are writing you are wild and free to do whatever you
want with all care is thrown to the wind.  Writing is a huge rush of
creative energy and one of the greatest joys I know.  In a sense it is like
owning a Ferrari.  When you are out driving it (Which I have never actually
done) you feel alive and exhilarated.  The problem I have always been told
with cars like that, however, is that they tend to spend a lot of time in the
shop.  The more you drive your Ferrari, the more work needs to be done to
keep it going.  Editing is a lot like having the car in the shop. 
It’s not fun.  It’s work.  You must go over every word you have
written and have it write.  This is your last chance to make any
corrections before your fans see and judge your work.  It is no time for
having fun.  I say again, it is not time for fun.  Nevertheless, every
time I get into the edits for “Sapphire Crucible” I find myself caught up in the
story and forgetting myself.  Then I have to go back and reread the section
from an editor’s perspective.  That is the reason the edits have taken so
long.  I expect to have them finished this week.  After that it will
be a short step to the publishing of the book.  I can’t wait.  When
you’re working on that Ferrari in the shop, all you can think about is taking it
out on the open road again.  I just have some adjustments to make to have
this baby purring like a kitten.  If you want to be up to speed when
“Sapphire Crucible” comes out you need to read “Quest for the Red
Sapphire.”  It’s a great novel in itself and sets up the racetrack for the
sequel.  I hope you all come along for the ride!
