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 honest, this is starting to feel like chewing used gum and I’ll be glad to have it ready for the printers even though there are still very few tourists around to buy it. Not long now!
I’ve also been fixing the problems that my first beta-reader pointed out in the novel. That was much more fun. I’m starting to really look forward to the new one, although I haven’t got much further than a few notes.
I took today off writing, and as you can see, I visited the park in Los Llanos. This coming week I plan to star a free trial of Scrivener. With a bit of luck I’ll find that as I transfer my notes over, more ideas will come and it will start to take shape.
