October 26, 2006 | about me
Excellent fun at the Paddington Library tonight…hard to tell how many people were there because people kept on popping in and out (it was in the middle of a large open library) but they were all very nice and there were some good questions. My editor was there to help me field them too (and I was able to point her out as a media star as some people had seen her on the BBC4 Reader, I Married Him programmes).
She’d read my book (which I sent in on Monday–this woman is a marvel) and there are only minor revisions to be done. I am mega-relieved that she didn’t think it sucked. To tell the truth, although I thought it sucked as I wrote it, when I read it through I thought it sucked less…but my judgement is damn awful so I had no idea what to expect. She liked it, though.
(NOTE TO FRIENDS: This does not mean that when I say something sucks, it doesn’t. Because sometimes–often–it does. It just means that this time, it didn’t. Not as much as I thought it did, anyway. Just because this time the Crows of Doubt turned out to be benign cute widdle sparrows doesn’t mean that one day I won’t be attacked by big old evil ravens intent on pecking out my eyes.)
In other news, my belly is getting too big. It kept on peeking out from the bottom of my shirt. How embarrassing.
Michelle Styles says:
Hooray on the talk and the minor revisions.
Things can suck when you are writing them. Remember good books are not written but rewritten. Nora Roberts always refers to her wip as a POS.
Now go to the revisions!!
And you will get bigger before you get smaller. Don’t worry, give it six months and you will be back in shape.
Julie says:
Yes, but I hardly did any revisions on it before I sent it, either. I changed some names and added a sentence or two. The Crows were circling with this one big time.
