Good News from Fiction Editor.

Hal on Oct 9th 2008

I am pleased to report that I received a very favorable in depth review of Sins of Our Fathers (SOF) from an editor from a well known Christian book publisher.

Out of three manuscripts reviewed in my genre it looks like SOF rose to the top. She presented me with a number of suggested revisions to improve the manuscript.

As I wrote quickly this morning on my other blog, The Great Separation,

“there are some [suggestions] that I don’t agree with – what writer always does ;-) We writers tend to have something of an ego, though most would probably say that my ego isn’t all that big (some would say it needs to be bigger), but our work is our baby and ultimately we want our baby to mature and stand on it’s own in the publishing world.”

And making the manuscript shine is the goal. That and getting it on book shelves across the nation then the world (insert world domination laugh here).

So I’m going to put on hold the current writing project I think and return to the world of Jack Grayson, Brooke Simmons, and Maxwell Tyler – characters I love.

It’ll be interesting returning there. Already the gears in the grey matter are spinning, and shifts in story and additional possibilities are going off like little chimes in a mantel clock.

One thing I need to do is break out the flash software and update the news on the main book page. So that goes on the list of things to do along with printing out the manuscript so I can feel the pages under my red pen.
