SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGH!!! :P
I just finished the second draft of TheKey: Volume 3. All 583 pages worth of it! :crazy:
Since I'm done with Volume 3, it means I've only got 3 more to go!! :crazy: :crazy:
Good thing I'm giving myself the rest of the year to get to everything.
In the meantime, I'll be printing it out and sending it to my editor/proofreader who clearly doesn't think TheKey is so bad as to tell me I should just stop working on it. (Which is good, considering she is my future mother-in-law...)
In the mean-meantime, I'll be concentrating on Volume 1 again. I've got a copy out to one friend who is hopefully working through it right now and as soon as I get notes from him and another friend who has just finished reading it (Thanks, Jen!) I'll implement them and start work on the cover. From there, I get to deal with the actual formatting of the book into a form that is ready for publishing. This means I get to beat M$ Word into submission. THAT should be fun. :D
ANYWAY, that's the update. I still have to finish editing ThePete.Comic. Major work on that will happen tomorrow (later today, as you read this). I should have news on that in the next day or two.
Never enough time!!
Later, folks!!
Hi Pete
ReplyDeleteI was reading Jules Verne's 'Journey to the Centre of the Earth' recently and it reminded me a lot of TheKey - the bit where they travel across ------ in the ------ ------ and find the ------ ------.*
Thinking back I realised that part of the reason I didn't get on so well with that first draft was because I was reading it on the stupid palmtop computer I had back then.
It's actually a great story with a lot of potential - which I'm sure you've fulfilled in the revised drafts - and I'm glad to see you're doing so well with it.
The new site design's a big improvement too, but a few of your links aren't working from the dropdown menus - I couldn't get to TheForum, and all the links from TheProjects led to a blank page. Just FYI.

Hey, thanks, Rick! Although I did agree with some of your criticisms. Some of which I heard from others, as well, so, no worries!
ReplyDeleteI am looking into a publisher in the UK so you and the few other people I know in the UK can get copies. ;)
Thanks for stopping by the site and thanks for the compliments. The broken links will be fixed eventually. For now I should just say that I always think that any good site is constantly "under construction" but I *hate* those "UNDER CONSTRUCTION" icons that people post. So, for now, they'll just be broken links. But I do plan on fixing them...
I need to stop by your site one of these days... just so damn busy as my blog, here, can attest!
Anyway, thanks again!
