Okay, have nearly read through the entire thing now and it doesn’t suck too bad.
Because this story is structured around a rock band on tour, I’ve written out where each show is and what happens around it on index cards, with green for gig dates and pink for days off. This shows me that my three-week tour has taken about twelve days. So I need to a) write one or two scenes to cover a few days, and b) space the events out a little bit.
Also I notice that my band have played Leeds twice. Lucky Leeds.
Other than that, the revisions have been quite minor, which is always a little worrying, especially as I had no clue what I was doing for most of this book.
Oh well onwards and upwards, and tomorrow is the launch of a cool new website, so please come back and check.
All of which goes to show that yourb Crows of Doubt appeared at the right time, and are part of your process.
I am sure this book will be up to your usual standard.
Well, I hate to admit it after my freak out, but my editor said she loved the first 100 pages she read. And my agent, who read the first few chapters, also told me that reading my books was as easy and as pleasurable as eating chocolate.
I don’t tend to remember these things when I am getting paranoid.
