I’ve proofed 345 pages of my rock n roll epic, Rising Star. I have less than a hundred to go. I hope I’m not rushing it, but the foul weather has confined me to the apartment and I try to use the time productively. I’ve found 24 errors, stated certain thoughts more clearly, and made a few additions that have not added even a single page to the manuscript. When I finish this phase, I will query my literary angel, Victoria Valentine of Water Forest Press. She uses Create Space for all her books. I’m not sure if I have to include a title page or if they will do it automatically. And I’d like to know if the About the Author and Acknowledgments have to be submitted separately. Despite the commercial failure of my other books, I’m still excited. I believe it’s a good, entertaining story, but I have reservations about a few of the plot machinations, and I'm sure that anyone who has worked behind the scenes in the music industry, especially the business side, will know it was written by an outsider.
The book shop was a last minute decision, a go when I found the wind wasn't as fierce as the radio forecaster said it would be. Still, it was cold and flurries were in the air, even when the sun was out. My thanks to the middle aged woman who bought an odd pairing: Kaffir Boy: The True Story of a Black Youth's Coming of Age in Apartheid South Africa by Mark Mathabane, and Assassins, a thriller whose author escapes me.
