In case anyone thinks I'm basking in a complacent, caffeine-fuelled sense of entitlement, let me assure you that I'm not. For a start, I want more supporters, especially now I know the book is not just a reality but a physical presence that is out of my head and on the table for discussion, as it were. It's going to be SO beautiful - so do, please, share the joy.
But, hugely, I'm having the time of my life editing with purpose, for an editor I respect, instead of some imaginary monster of a publishing house submissions editor. I had to go through that process, of course, to be here but now I feel supported and know that The Book of Bera is going to get even better. My editor will get the ms back with track changes visible, so that she can restore the original if the baby goes out with the bathwater. Then she will make her own suggestions, which I can decline or accept. Anyway, here's this morning's page for anyone who hasn't a clue what I'm talking about. I'll be back in the Shed once I've finished the edit. Thanks again, old and new supporters.
