And the Spanish 3rd edition is at the printers! Yay! I took most of a day off to celebrate, then got back to work on the whodunit. Polishing is now up to chapter 65, so almost 2/3 of the way through. This week’s photos are from the little zoo at Maroparque where one of the parrots tried to eat my friend’s camera. They warn you to put away anything like…
It’s been another busy week. I’ve finished the proof corrections to the guide book which is a huge relief. As I’ve probably mentioned quite a few times, I’ve been trying to finish the guide book update for at least three years. It will be fantastic when the corrections are done and checked, and I can send it to the printers. The whodunnit edit is now up to chaper 54 (of…
This week’s photo excursion was to the salt works at the southern tip of the island, Las Salinas de Fuencliente. I had it all planned out: I’d photograph the piles of salt in the rosy light just before sunset, photograph the sunset itself, eat in the cafeteria and then I’d photograph the stars. That’s not what happened. Most of the Salinas had been taken over by a wedding party so…

And editing the whodunit is up to chapter 32 (of 102) I still haven’t started my Scrivener trial because I’ve been so busy, but I’ve made more notes for the next…

I think the really, truely, final round of corrctions is a little over half done. I’ve made more tweaks to the novel in response to feeedback, and I think it’s looking good. Up to chapter 14 now. The trial of Scrivener hasn’t started yet, but I made a few…
I’ve spent much of the week proof reading the Spanish 3rd edition of the guide book Una espectacular ventana al universo, mosty checking bolding, italics and references. It’s boring work, but it needed to be done and I’m happy to say I’ve finished. I’ve also asked for feedback on the Spanish itself from friends who are native speakers, and they’ve found more for me to fix. To be…
