Yesterday UPS delivered my author copies of my July Blaze time travel, Highland Fling. I’m still just as goofy with this book as I was with my first. I’d seen the cover art and the back copy and well, heck, I’m the one that wrote the rest, but I couldn’t wait to pull out the finished product. :)
I know some writers who never read their work again once they’ve turned in the revisions and gone through the edits and galleys. Not me, baby. After I got Girl to bed and I showered last night, I sat down and stayed up ridiculously late reading the book from cover to cover. Maybe this is weird but I need to do that, give it a read-thru after I’ve had some distance from it. I’m usually reading to check myself. Am I happy with it? Would I/should I have written something differently, handled it another way? Are there any typos or errors that were missed?
I have a tendancy to be just a wee tad critical, particularly with myself, but I’m happy to say I love this book. Given the chance, and there is none so this is just as well:p, I wouldn’t change anything about the characters or the story itself. There is one word error and one pov blip but I think I’m the only one that will notice. Hopefully.:)
So, for a moment, last night and this morning, I have a sense of satisfaction, of a job well done. Uh-huh. And now it’s back to my WIP and, well, that’s another story.:[
Satisfaction is all too fleeting….;(
