I’ve been away from Inkshares for almost a year, working away on my book. I hired an editor to help me get it into shape -- and what a difference that made. I’ve posted my new and improved first chapter for your reading pleasure.
So that’s the first piece of good news, that I got the story rewritten. Completely. (Including cutting 20,000 words.) With a lot of help from my editor and friend/readers who had great ideas for solving some tough problems.
The second piece of good news is that I got an agent. Again. But I think this time I’ve found the right agent. This means two things: 1) I’m going to give the traditional-ish publishing route another go; and 2) I’ll have to do another round of rewriting. But that’s all good, because the ending is still a little rough, and my agent has some ideas for fixing it. Yay!
Many thanks to this community for following me. I’ll continue to keep you posted. And if you have any questions or suggestions, please send me a message.
