The Devil's Number Update

It's been a while since I Blogged, I know - but I have been working, I swear!

In fact, earlier today I sent off the first five scenes of the novella and it is now sitting on the editor's desk. I'm feeling a bit of relief that I've finally sent it. It does ease the workload just a little.

It's amazing how different the novella has become since the first draft - the re-writing, editing, changing the sex of characters etc. But, it's reading a lot smoother now and hopefully it's got a chance at seeing publication.

I've made a vow to myself that the final product will be completed by the last quarter of the year. The projects and ideas inside my head are banking up and it is almost time to move on.

In other news, it's almost time for FlashSpec Volume 2 to be released and I have to say the line-up is pretty impressive and let's hope the stories within get some good reviews.

I'm sure the editor put down his coffee when he saw your manuscript on his desk... maybe even read it through his lunch.

:o)

Any news on it yet?
