Tonight I finished making revisions to A Theft of Bones based on my beta readers’ comments. The most notable changes were the addition of a prologue and a new ending to the final battle. There were also a number of dialog tweaks and scene adjustments. In isolation, none of the changes are that dramatic, but, taken together, I think they make for a stronger manuscript.
I’ve sent the revised manuscript off to The Physicist and, if he doesn’t see anything wrong, I’ll be ready to start querying (AKA decorating one’s wall with rejection letters).
It feels good to be done with A Theft of Bones, for now at least. I’ve had a blast writing it, but it’s time to push it out of the nest and see if it can fly. Now I can begin work on my novel set in ancient Egypt.
The writing cycle begins anew…
