Tap, tap, tap. This is the sound I've been making for the past couple of months, during the precious few moments I've found to do some editing work.
But after much tap, tap, tapping, it's finally finished! For now...
Soon my editor, Jo Holloway, will read the revisions I've made. And while it's certainly an improvement on the raw material that was my first rough draft (I can't believe I submitted it to the Rose & Crown competition - or that it actually got 3rd place!), I'm sure there will be further editing required.
I've also sent the rewrite to my cousin, Adele Jones, herself a prolific writer with a recently completed Masters of Letters in Literature (she's a very busy woman!). She's pinpointed some key areas in the draft that could do with some polishing. And while I'm extremely grateful for her valued insight, I now feel like I'm back where I started (almost):
Tap, tap, tap...!

Rose and Crown's editor, Jo, just sent through the book contract yesterday. My first contract - very exciting! Hopefully the first of many ... :)

I'm looking forward to sinking my teeth into all the different aspects of marketing, even if it all looks a little daunting. So much to do! Not to mention looking after the kids, house, hubby, and having some semblance of a normal life! Well, I guess they do say that "normal" is a very subjective thing ... ! :)
