Like Glass Editing – Round 1 Finished

January 3, 2010 · Posted in Like Glass 

Almost finished running through the first edits for Like Glass, and I’m stoked. Very few changes – not counting ‘translating’ from US to British English (most of which seemed to be replacing ‘z’ with ‘s’, as in ‘realizing’ to ‘realising’). Very exciting to get it back from a ‘real’ editor and not have to rewrite the whole book…

Now, if only the same could be said for Shattered. Don’t get me wrong – they gave me a lot of great feedback and ideas, but there’s a ton of work that needs to be done to it and not a lot of time to do it in. I think I’m up for vacation at work here in a couple of months; I’ll have to see whether or not it’d be a good idea to spend that on editing or save it in case the wife and I try to take a ‘real’ vacation of some kind.

Anyways, I need to get back to finishing up the edits. Catch you on the flip side.

    Happy New Year Matt!

    Not seen you on twitter for a while, but decided to drop by and see what you have been up to!

    Congrats on the awesome progress you have made.

    My suggestion is take the time off from your day job to focus on writing.

    Set a goal that when you replace your “job” with “writing” income, you can then take your wife on a cruise or whichever holiday you feel works for you.

    Stay in touch, and I still have the review in draft form! Must finish it – I am the world’s biggest procrastinator!

    Regards,
    Karl Rohde

    Thanks for the listing under other great authors. My second edition is out in hardback and I am very happy. I agree the edits were a ton of work.
    If you want me to review your book I will be glad to buy it on Amazon if you’ll buy mine.
    Let me know.
    fellow Author,
