So close...

- Busy reconciling the last bits & drafts of Janus Paradox. Feeling _so_ close to having a complete final draft, ready to send off. Eeeeep!!! I've sent off the first third of the final document to one of my editors for any last feedback and I'm feeling really good about it. It took forever for me to figure out how to format the pagination so that I could include the chapter titles on every other page w/the page numbers. Couldn't find anything via websites.

On to the last bits... FINALLY!

Good Morning All! I have been really struggling over the last couple months (!) with a middle chapter of my book, which developed into one of the major turning points in the life of my main character (Version B of the main character, that is - remember it's a time travel novel based on reincarnation) I'm not exactly sure why it was so difficult to work through - but I'm 'through it' now, so huzzah! I have 4 "completely-incomplete" chapters that are merely outlined to finish - plus I…See More

The way I read has definately changed since I started writing myself. can't even watch a movie without breaking it down. The good ones always entertain, and the not so good ones give a lot of lessons.
