Happenstance and good luck put my first of two days off the day job with my final proofs. I held my breath and opened the file, read a few breathless lines and smiled as I exhaled. Finally, I see what my work looks like after a good editor has finished with it. The feeling of seeing your words and thoughts come together in tight format is like nothing else, for me.
Some folks like to jump off of bridges while shackled to rubber bands or strapped to parachutes. I send in work that I hope will come back looking like this…
Sure, we had a few (eleven) small corrections to make as we dusted off the finished product. But that is exactly what we now have: Tormenta, as a work of American Fiction is headed for print production.
It won’t be long now, gang…
