Okay, so I'm officially halfway done my editing and it has to be in by Thursday. Yikes! Where did the time go. So needless to say I will be linked to my computer for a good portion of my time. It's odd how such simple changes have turned into a much harder task. It turns out that what I had originally planned on doing would have changed my main character too much and I just couldn't do that to her. So I finally decided to combine two elements that my editor wanted me to work on anyway and it seems to be working out well. However, since I'm only on chapter 7, we'll see if I still feel that way when I'm done. So far the person that has heard the book almost as many times as I've read it says that it sounds fine, but she has only heard up to chapter 4 and has yet to hear all the additions, so we'll see.
I have also received some updates from my publisher and if I counted correctly, which remains to be seen since obviously I'm more in the realms of English rather than mathematics, that perhaps my hopes of having the book out by September was too hopeful. I now place the release of the book at around October, but then again perhaps I'm wrong again. Basically, I've come to the conclusion that I'll wait to start really guessing as to the release after it has gone to marketing and I'm then receiving constant communications.
As for the book I'm reading, it's still Inheritance. I'm almost finished though, just a few more chapters. I will say that it is probably my second favorite of the series, but then again that follows my normal patters. I usually like the first and last of a series. Lord of the Rings, the Twilight Saga and many others, though surprisingly The Hunger Games Trilogy does not fall into this. My favorites out of that were the first and second. Don't get me wrong, I really liked the third one, but it was just so depressing. Anyway, now that I'm under a time crunch I will be going back to work.
