Adamantine Palace: First Edit in Progress (29/7/08)

Posted in News

Simon has finally sent me through all his comments on the first draft of The Adamantine Palace and it seems like we’re still on the same sort of wavelength. Nothing that requires any major rework by the looks of it. Work on King of the Crags is now suspended for the summer, to be resumed in September (probably).

First Reader is immensely smug. The first thing Simon’s notes say are: ‘My most serious quibble is with the end…’

Damn. Out-voted.

Trailers… Much more fun than writing a synopsis!

Probably the first thing I ever finished that was worth reading, this started life as an exercise in descriptive prose and ended up surprising me. With thanks to Lord Byron.
