And TDE is underway again…
Added 2020-10-25 04:00:17 +0000 UTCGoing back and editing a book is both boring and dangerous: boring because chasing down and eliminating repeated words is just … boring, and dangerous because the temptation is huge to start editing the text around the repeated word, which greatly extends the time to find and rid the text of those wretched repeats. I have eliminated the 953 occurrences and variants of ‘look’ and am now working through ‘really’, to be followed by ‘clearly’ and a list of words shared with me by an author friend, Ryan Sylander. He’s on Patreon at

and I strongly urge you to go and read his Hook, Pick and Lens trilogy.
But today, I took a break from the editing and dived back into TDE – chapter 6 now stands at 2000 words and counting, which is more than I expected. Perhaps I’ll get it finished before the end of the academic year heaves the marking mountain over the horizon!
Take care of you and yours as the virus surges around you.
