This morning, I finished the on-paper edits of "Gold Wings are Murder." I found grammar and spelling errors on almost every page. I found 36 items big enough that I couldn't fix them on the spot, so I wrote those all down on a To-Edit list. Plus, I have two and a half chapters that need major re-work.
In other words, it went GREAT!
I'm using the editing process suggested by Rachel Aaron in her book "2,000 to 10,000: How to Writer Faster, Write Better, and Write More of What You Love." This is one of the best books I've read on the nuts-and-bolts nitty-gritty craft of writing fiction. Well done, Rachel Aaron!
So, it's the beginning of June now. I should certainly have the book done and published for Amazon Kindle July 4th. I hope to also a paperback version--for folks who don't want to risk dropping their fancy Kindle while riding and reading on the back of a Gold Wing.
MOXIE NIXX is the author of the paranormal murder mystery "Gold Wings are Murder." Our heroes, Django and Sorcha Rhyne retire young and set out on a Four Corners Tour of the USA. Strangely, every place they stay seems to be haunted. Book one, "The Crying Stone," is set on beautiful Lake Lure, NC. Book two will be "The Ghost Light" set in spooky Charleston, SC. The author Moxie Nixx, and his wife Leigh, ride their 2012 Gold Wing out of Cascade, North Carolina.
