I am pleased to let you know that this morning I've finished the main block of writing on the book, the story is down and ended, now I will be spending the next two weeks going over it line by line to ensure that it reads well and the errors, if any, are kept to the absolute minimum. This means of course going over it several times until I'm satisfied that it is a book that people would be happy to read.
The rewards are in you, the reader, getting pleasure out of it and hopefully giving me good reviews.
Not only that, I'd like to see a lot of people buying it so I can pay my bills!
After it is up on the kindle I will be hard at work next month writing on another book, as I had said before I'm already 25,000 words into it. I have no idea of how big it will turn out to be but I have found myself enjoying working out the story line in my head and seeing where it goes, the fruit of all that will be once I've started typing away here on my keyboard and seeing the tale being fleshed out. It may go in directions I hadn't anticipated but that is all part of the fun.
It's the editing process I'm not too keen on, I really do enjoy telling the tale but I don't enjoy going over it time and again to get rid of the spelling mistakes, the grammar errors and sorting out the fact that the character should have gone left instead of right. By the time I've done all that I am a little sick of seeing the story if I'm honest. It has to be done, in order to prevent the reader getting frustrated at sloughing through numerous errors. I can't promise I'll get them all for it is just little old me working all on my lonesome here, I cannot afford the price of a proofreader but rest assured, if and when the time comes that I am able to, I will definitely hire one!
In any case once it is out that's it, I don't intend to return to the zombie genre for a long long while, unless there is a demand from the fans of my works for more tales in that vein.
Hopefully if things go smoothly , you should have the book on your kindle sometime over the next fortnight or so.
If you buy it that is and if you do, I hope you'll really enjoy it!
