Hello all. I wanted to update you and let you know that I will be moving over the next two weeks or so. No, it won't take me two weeks to move, but I've got to pack and get everything in order. Having said that, my timetable has been delayed to some degree. I'm still working away, but this perfect Rome of mine will not be built in a day. I don't like being behind schedule, but it is a reality at this time.
I'm continuing to edit. Editing really sucks. Revising is cool, but editing is a bore. Are they the same thing? Maybe. Revising to me includes adding in new parts and changing things around; it's a more sweeping set of changes. In my opinion, editing is simply fixing typos and putting commas where they should go. It's a far less rewarding task, but one that needs to be done.
I'll be moving on or around October 8th, and the first thing I will set up in the new place will be my computer and typewriter. I'll get to work right away and have the Fly, Pigeon story done.
I've all but wrapped on the brainstorming of my new novel for this winter. I would have loved to have had something finished for Christmas (they make good presents) but that's just not going to happen. The long and gray instance of the coming season will probably carry that book into the spring. Ho hum. It's a lucky thing that life is long.
Talk soon.
Barry
