As I said in my last blog post, I have designated the 31st
August 2013 as my launch day. Now it’s a
race to finish up everything and get it all prepared before then!
I have been busy working my way through a print out of the
novel, making corrections, adding detail and basically tidying everything
up. It’s a very good experience,
particularly the elimination of repeating words. Proof readers of my previous novel will
remember the original drafts that were packed full of constant uses of the word
‘quiet’ instead of ‘quite’, as well as the evitable overuse of the word
‘said’. Fortunate then that the original
novel was proofed so well, good job everyone!
Another idea has also come to mind. Several people have suggested the idea of a
launch day and I must say, I’m very interested in having one. The basic idea is to hold a launch event at a
functional room somewhere, probably in my hometown Newtownards, on the evening
of the 31st August. I will of
course post up more details nearer the time.
I definite think it would be a fun thing to try, even just the once.
So it’s at last all coming together. The book is almost done and if I organize it
right, there will be an official launch event for it too!
I shall keep everyone informed on the blog and my Facebook
page. Stay tuned!
