An Exciting Day

I suppose I should keep this blog up to date. You never know who may pop by :o)

Well, today I had a lovely email from a London publisher, who contacted me after she read A Boy Called George on Authonomy and has requested a full!

Dammit! My bio page is still a mess after the excitement of making it to the desk. Something else I must do.
She also came along and read the blog!

Could have commercial appeal... or words to that effect! I presume she meant George and not the blog :o)

The funny thing was, I left George alone for four months, I got far too close to see any errors. Last night I read it for the first time bearing in mind what Harper Collins said in the critique and I was disgusted how awful it read.

I started a discussion with other writers with the intention of doing a complete re-write.

'It's good to leave it alone for a while'. Many agreed.

Now I am completely confused and wonder if I should just knock the story out as quick as possible and get it finished. After all, if they liked it in such a terrible state, I could possibly rip the heart out of the style that appealed to them.

I've been too excited to reply to her email. I need to sit down later and compose something that doesn't sound ridiculously childish.

You may have guessed, this is the first request I ever had a request!
