Just thought I'd give an update on the progress of Second Chance. It's at 43,766 words right now, which is decent progress. I'm only working on it during breaks in my other projects, which includes the wrap up of Killer Eyes, and the continued revisions to John Dunn.
As for Killer Eyes, it's very close to being finished. Last last night I even considered submitting it to Melange, but I ended up deciding not to. I've made significant improvements as recently as last night. I thought that it would be the last of the improvements, but that's usually wrong. I've said it time and again, you always find things that can be improved. But I've also said there comes a time when it just has to be called done.
And I'm right about there. It's pretty much done. MAYBE I'll read through it one more time, but I swear, that would have to be the last time. Why? Because it's done!
Meanwhile, I've heard back from some reviewers who have agreed to read Killer of Killers and The Vase. I sure hope they enjoy the stories. I look forward to hearing what they think, and I hope their reviews are good ones. Still, every author must brace for that bad review. I just hope it doesn't happen to me yet. What a joke on me it would be if the review I solicited turned out to be bad.
Still, I certainly do want honest reviews. It's one thing to get a nice review, but if it's not an honest one, well, that was why I had always been against the soliciting of reviews. I believed they weren't altogether honest, because I believed the reviews were solicited from an author's family members or close friends. So here's to hoping my reviews will be good, because I know they will be honest. How do I know? Because none of these reviewers are my family members or friends. Never met them, and other than looking up their blogs, I don't know anything about them. Fingers crossed.
