Hello, and welcome to a weekend selfie.
Oh, what a couple of weeks. Since we last posted a selfie, Mrs H and I have been beavering away with sorting out some final edits from Kerry in America, and her husband, David. The final KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing) doc arrived here last week, and Mrs H went into edit mode, meaning long hours at MY laptop spent trying to forget she'd read this story hundreds of times before. Fresh eyes, it seems, do come with a new pair of spectacles, which must be down to having a stronger prescription.
Yup, you guessed it on the second re-read; most like the 501st in real time, she discovered a continuity error concerning a pair of boots with a minor 'walk-on' role. All her fault, I hasten to add. Further checks discovered several, if not lots, of other minor errors that had slipped through the writing and editorial net. I put this down to having way too much fun reading the story and that glass of sherry.
Sadly for me, this has meant many days of ready meals only. Also, her moans and groans as she spots another issue have meant countless disturbed naps throughout the day.
If I had known five years ago that this would be the case, I'd have opted to write a picture book instead! 🙂
Anyways, enough about book publishing pains, here is a selfie of yours truly settling down for some much-needed rest. Which isn't easy when the subsidence in the east wing bedroom, MOL

This is a lovely selfie, Erin! Hugs! Our human understands those 'publishing pains', the pressure and deadlines, after having worked in the publishing for 32 years. Hugs to your mom!
ReplyDeleteThanks, it's all a right royal pain, but well worth the effort for the award winning result.

This is a terrific sideways selfie. How did you manage to be on the bed against the wall sideways? M o l We hope the glass of Sherry helps Mrs H figure out what to do next with editing. In the meantime let's hope your canned food is good food.
ReplyDeleteThe fast food is, well, meh, but the end result in the book will be worth it. Of that I am sure.
