Going back to an older manuscript also
forces me to read it again from the start to ensure I’m up-to-date with the
plot. That’s as good as an additional edit and I’ve always believed the more
edits the better.
Today I stretched the limits a bit
farther. I’ve asked for return of rights on a series off four murder mystery
stories originally published by a small press in the USA. I have the idea of
rewriting them specifically for the UK market. The original contracts have run
to a conclusion and I figure it won’t take too much effort to re-write the
novels. As I already have three work-in-progress manuscripts I will be upping
the number to seven. I’m giving myself a lot of leeway over which to work on in
future!
Good grief - I couldn't work like that! I just have the one project on the go at any one time.
ReplyDeleteI'm retired, Kath, and determined to fill every moment (those that Henry leaves me free) with productive writing. You're a busy working lady with a family. I also have a mind that tends to wander from one thing to another with consumate ease. Sometimes without me realising it!
ReplyDeleteYou're retired - don't rub it in!
ReplyDeleteI like to think it was the best career move I ever made... sorry, Kath!
