Grammar – Jaye Em Edgecliff

This edit pass of Ready or Not is going amazingly smoothly. I’m already about half through it all and have mostly been fixing typos. This bodes very well for moving up the release date!

I’m hoping, if this pace continues, to have this in my editor’s hands by the end of the month — maybe end of the first week of February at the latest. She has to do another pass; no way to avoid it, my grammar and orthography can get pretty lousy at points — my schooling included little education, and less where English was concerned. Too, I’m loathe to ever release anything that hasn’t been looked at by another set of eyes after being written/changed.

Depending when she can start the editing process on her end … in a perfect world we’d be looking at an early March release! But more realistically I’d say no earlier than April or May.

Ready or Not is a step closer to release.

I’m in the process of another proofreading pass. This one, sadly, is less a polish run and more of a revision/redraft/rewrite than when I’d don’t this for Love or Lust, but such is life. The importance of that distinction is that it means I’m that much more likely to need till June to release. With luck things will be swift and smooth enough that I’ll be done with this by March and able to give over to my editor for that last check for typos and grammar mistakes … if that’s the case we could see release by April or May. So, fingers are crossed.

I’ve written one, and may write other short stories that expand things from the final book. Still trying to decide if I ought to do that before or after putting the book out. Probably after, at least for the one written already, since it spoils a surprise.
