And yes, my poor Paperwhite is a decade old and beat to hell at this point! So, last edit is on the Kindle. Traditionally, changes at this point are deciding what should be italicized, splitting paragraphs, finding typos, occasionally removing a paragraph or line if I decided its unneeded.
BUT...
Novel is basically the novel at this point.
I'll decide the final release date soon, but I'm still thinking early March. Pity I didn't get it finished before Christmas, since the whole last chunk takes place as the semester ends and there's serious holiday vibes.
I love this novel, by the way. It's hard to pick a favorite child and it's not going to have any Eurekas, but there's so many great character moments and I found myself laughing and tearing up while finishing the last pass, and that NEVER happens at this point. Usually I hate my novels with the fires of a thousand suns by now and I don't feel that at all. Maybe it's just because it feels like a miracle and such a relief after every that's happened, but...I really hope you all enjoy it too.
Fantastic - can't wait!
ReplyDeleteSo happy for you to get that feeling, especially after all the work you had to put in. (Not that you did not work hard on ALL of them... but this has definitely been an "above and beyond" push.) As ever, thank you so much for sharing your talent and your vision with us.
