To Begin Again

What's Playing on the iPod right now: "Back to Life" - Soul II Soul
What I am reading now: "When the Thrill is Gone" - Walter Mosley


Last year I finally finished my novel, "Moment of Truth".  It has taken me over a year to complete but to see the words "The End" typed on the page made it worth it.  The story was told and I could begin to work on a new story.  Unleash a new cast of characters that live in my head. 

But my thoughts and energy soon turned  to the task of publishing the book.  I have decided to go the self publish route.  I want the work out there to see how it fares in the market without going through the traditional publishers.  The first step in getting the manuscript edited.  After a critique, my editor suggested and I agreed that the story would be better told in third person.  This of course requires a total rewrite since the story is told from the first person view of my main character, Adrienne.  But I am up for the challenge.  I want this book to be the best that I can make it.  I can already see how the other characters will add more depth to the story. 

Well, let me get back to work.  I don't have a year to waste on revisions.  Stay tuned for further updates on the path to publishing.

Peace.
