My publisher sent it back to me last Wednesday and I printed it off and spent many hours over the weekend reading it, re-reading it, and checking for inefficiences and typos. It's amazing how much you miss when you are the one writing a book. When I'm in the thick of the creative process, the girl has on a pink sweater on one page and the next page she's wearing a purple sweater. Or the character pours a cup of tea and on the next page, she dumps the remainder of her coffee in the sink. It's little things like this that we don't see. I always try to take a few months before going back over it because it seems like a brand new book to me and I can see and find things I wouldn't normally find if I reviewed it immediately.
But the good news is, it's done! I emailed it back to Brighton late yesterday. I am sure they will go through my changes again and then send it back to me for one final check before it's ready to hit the printers. I should be getting the cover any day now and I can't wait to see it and share it with all of you.
Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter and don't forget it's not about the Easter Bunny. It's about the King of Kings who has risen!
