Let the rewrites begin...
Hello Pledgers,
“The only kind of writing is rewriting” said Ernest Hemingway. Not sure I agree that it’s the only kind there is, but I suppose he was just being emphatic.
Tomorrow is the day I start the rewrites on Jeremiah Bourne in Time. Hurrah. I delivered the manuscript a few weeks ago and was assigned an editor, who’s now finished her notes. I’m looking forward to getting back to the world of Jeremiah Bourne. It’s a long old process getting a book out – but hopefully I won’t take as long on the rewrites as Flaubert did – it was twenty-five years between the first and the second draft of Madame Bovary.
Will keep you posted….
Thanks again for getting us past the 100% mark.

Hope all goes well with the rewrites. Please don't take 25 years as I'll almost certainly be dead by then! :-D

as long as you get them in in under 24 years you've proven yourself a better writer than Flaubert ;)

I always get excited when I see these updates because it reminds me of what I'm waiting for - which is worth waiting for as long as necessary! I hope the rewrites go well.
