Almost Finished!

Been a while, been seriously busy! I'm like eight freaking pages from the first edit of Sonata (original volume two, now volume one). This has been real hard for me, both finishing a hard read through, and deciding the Avatars Overture will cease to be in the cannon, only to be known to the few who bought a copy, and through disjointed flashbacks in the new chronology. Just about everything that happens in Overture did happen, but I just realized it's mostly backstory, and best told in a few thousands words of the current books, mostly journal entries. I may introduce Mindy as a voice from the past (ghost like) character as my real protagonist (Minu Alma) moves through life.

Regardless, the edit should be done in about a week, and then the manuscript goes to Staples to print test copies, and I sit back to wait and hear what the test readers have to say. Eight lucky (brave) souls have volunteered to read and critique Avatars Sonata...I'm not going to wait for the results, but get right back to working on Avatars Aria that is about 1/3 done and was put on hold while I finished editing Sonata.

Well, back to work!
