It's almost impossible to believe Shadow of Revenge should've been released this month. And I'm so far behind the final edits the certainty of its release in April is slowly turning into mere hope.
But I'm extremely glad it's taking so long. I've deleted quite a few paragraphs that had nothing at all to do with the story and I sure have no idea why I wrote them in the first place. Some say it's tough editing you own work… It's not. Well, not too much, anyway.
My advice (actually I read it somewhere and I must say it works): once you write the book – personally I don't do drafts, it is what it is – put it in the lower drawer for a few months, even better, for a year. Once you forget the little details (I know you think that could never happen, but give it a try – you'll be able to look at your writing with fresh eyes, so to speak.
Anyway, I'm on chapter 17 (out of 27) and I do hope I'll be able to read it through by the end of the month, so I'll be able to post an excerpt or two. And let's not forget the trailer.
