Balls and Walnuts
more than you ever wanted to know
Done! No, really.
I’ve finished the first major pass-through and I’ve sent the manuscript off to my betas. These are all folks who have expressed an interest in seeing the manuscript, so if I’ve overlooked you, let me know. It’s a bit big, 138K words. Sadly, I was not able to pare it down. I cut out at least three or four thousand words, but added back another three or four thousand.
The edit took a month less than a month. I’m pretty jazzed about that, considering I finished The Brakan Correspondent in — what? 2004 or 2005? — and have yet to finish editing past the fourth chapter.
I’m finishing just in time, too, since Terraria and Torchlight 2 are threatening to consume my life.

Um, I am off your list of readers? I read your post and thought, wow! I’ll see the edited version waiting for me in my e-mail. But, no! Hopes dashed! Crests fallen!
Congrats on getting the book to this next phase! Forgive my whinning – I just want to see it again!
i keep forgetting i have it, but i’ll get to it soon, promise!
We have been away! At Disneyland!
I will try to start reading tonight.
Ooh, great! Let me know what you think.
Disneyland, and you didn’t want to come tour beautiful Bakersfield? . . . Just kidding 🙂
