The last words written and the day has finally come. The big reveal… ‘Unnamed’ is now complete at 75,000 words and finally has a deserving title:
The Curing
My proof readers have done an amazing job again and much deserving of my thanks. The story’s polished, vastly enriched by their feedback. Sure, there’s a few typos here and there however in the majority it’s a solid read. I wrote this story intentionally for my wife, my behind the scenes editor. She has worked on all my other books and for once I wanted to give her something to read from start to finish and not *chunks requiring editing* as is the usual routine.
She read it today and really enjoyed it, which makes me very happy. Without trying to sound all gushy and what not its fair to say I’m pretty chuffed right now, mission accomplished. This story has pushed me to my limits as it’s an entirely new direction for my writing. I’m feeling very tired right now, happily tired with the usual desire to sit and write sort of in the background and not so pressing.
Therefore for the next week or so I won’t be writing, not a single word as I consciously regroup. Those of you who have been reading my posts over time will know I’ve preached about getting back to the editing. Well now I feel it’s the right time. Sorry fans of The Healing Truth, no sequel for quite some time as that is secondary on my radar. I might find some time now to post a little more frequently….
Like usual I’ll put up the first chapter PDF format, or maybe a little more this time, up on the Writing page. I’ll monitor the comments for a while and see if there’s enough demand to warrant a bit more of a teaser…?
