The Creators edit

It has arrived and I am thrilled with the amazing edit that Balboa Press have given me.  The great thing is that I can agree or disagree with their suggestions. 

All or most (99%) of the 'grammar' ones I am certainly agreeing with; but some of the others I am not.

I am going to keep Selectors and Creators with capital letters.  I have also in reading it so carefully picked up a few 'time' issues - like arriving in the morning and being told 'Good evening'.

I have written, read, reread and re-written this novel over and over and even now I am finding things to correct and improve.

I have a 2 week deadline to get it back to Balboa (recommended) but I am taking it as ordered and then it is onto the next step a 'proof' copy. 

Tonight I have completed the first three chapters - it is such a powerful feeling to know that this is my work, my writing, my own creation and one day - My Book.

Way to go Beverly, nose to the grindstone and you'll have your books in the stores in no time at all! I commend you for the dedication and commitment you've put into your writing. I look forward to the day when I can 'just' write; write from my heart and not regurgitate what I've read (uni in a nutshell! lol).

Have yourself a wonderful day, and hats off to you!
