There’s always the itch to fix a line, make a description better. The urge to tweak is, sadly, something that never quite goes away. I mean, I have finished the trilogy so there’s not going to be any huge (for me, anyway) issues that suddenly crop up. Fixed the problem, sent the file in again. Scenes where a small detail had been overlooked when it came to Jinaari and his paladin Order. Something that happens toward the end of ‘Sword & Soul’, however, made them red flags in my mind. The spots weren’t problematic when I wrote those books. This is part of the problem with being a pantser. I took another look at ‘Shield & Scepter’. Let her know about a continuity issue I’d found and how it got fixed.īy Sunday afternoon, the edits were incorporated.

Had a wonderful phone call with the editor, cleared up a couple of comments. I worked them some on Friday, after work. I tried to explain that to my anxiety, but it wasn’t having any of that. There’s 3 books ahead of mine, so there wasn’t a rush. I got the file back on Friday, along with instructions to make changes and send a clean copy back by June 1st. It means there’s a chance that my readership for the series is bigger than I thought it might be. My editor at Creative James Media fell in love with ‘Scales & Stingers’ and finished the edits! She’s someone who has no idea what D&D is, or reads a lot of fantasy, yet she connected with the characters and the story. Jinaari, as I see him in ‘Heroes of Avoch’
