Okay, I finally took down my work-in-progress version of Because Of The Red Fox. Why? Because I’ve tweaked the novel enough that–to my mind, anyway–it is significantly different from what I’d posted.
It isn’t really tremendously different. Just has some things making more sense, mistakes corrected, aspects of the story stronger.
I don’t think I ever realized that I could feel this way about a book: I have a notebook of little and a little bit large edits, but I absolutely know that I can make the changes I want and that I’ll like the results. Heck, I love the book already! It’s 97% what I want to say and how I want to say it. I know it will never be “perfect”, but I feel that in a few weeks I’ll be able to say: “This is good.” And let it be.
I hope you end up liking it too!
And even if you don’t, I definitely have more books up my sleeve. Maybe you’ll enjoy one of them!
