At just over ninety thousand words I feel able to declare what began life as 'Susannah Elphinstone' and what is currently 'Longest shadows reach' finished. By which I mean after many many re-readings and writings I think it is, apart from minor tweaks, finished.
It is the follow up to what was .'Not wanted on voyage' and became 'A step so grave' which I temporarily abandoned after submitting it to an agent and a book doctor at York's Festival of Writing in September. This had undergone three major re-writes and I did not then have the stamina for an immediate fourth one.
I also have 'Making good' awaiting a final edit - the fourth and final on in the Bridie and Sean saga.
My intention is to sign up for the six week 'Self editing your novel', course run by the Writers Workshop which begins January 7th, using 'Longer shadows reach' but before that I intend to play a bit more with the cover design.
Congratulations on another hefty milestone!
