BIG TIME!!!! lol

What once was known as the “Daintree Daughters” is now known as Victorian Valour

and my publisher [gee that feels so good to announce :O) lol!!!] likes it! This is what he sent back to me after reading just the first volume “Bachelor”:

Wow. Bloody good story. Overall, it moves very well and keeps the reader interested. It’s a good story on it’s own and is complete, but it also leaves a lot of questions unanswered, but not frustratingly so. A well written story!

So when it’s done I hope you lot will look at obtaining a copy! lol

Writing a book is bloody easy compared to polishing it for publication – reading editing rewriting rereading forgetting to edit cos the story’s so good re reading to edit then adding then rereading (& cos YOU KNOW what’s going to happen & preempting that) adding what shouldn’t be added rereading editing rereading .... Then you finally get to the point that you are sick of it and cannot do another thing even want to chuck it in the bin & forget the whole bloody thing!!! (breathing) you hand it to the publisher & s’he passes it to their proffered editor & the whole bloody polishing thing starts again! – read the editors changes discuss reread rewrite reread resubmit reread reedit rewrite...... 6 weeks later when EVERYONE hits the wall you get it printed & hand that to the proof reader & the bloody rigmarole starts again! – reread what the proofreader has found rewrite reread reedit resubmit
and then finally print it promote it and PRAY!!!!!
- that it doesn’t come back!
- that people will read it!
- that people will buy it!
- that no one sues you!

Anyhoo I just stopped in to moderate the art in the groups I’m solely responsible to [The EEG, Australian Bush & War] and found my new good mate Brumbyy was feeling a tad under the weather so I created a list of Funny things to try and cheer him up.

Then I thought cos it’s such a blaah day here in Melbourne [not cold, not wet, not sunny, not hot, just blah!] I thought I’d post them up here for all of you

So here’s my Funnies!

    Well done, lovely to get such good words from your publisher

  • adgray replied

    Thank you!
    He is a member of the writing group I have joined and he loves the work I submit to that so asked would I have the inclination to write a novel as he would like to publish one – so I did the good old “Well this is the beginning of one I prepared earlier” (lol) & gave him the first story and voila!
    So Full steam ahead now! Christmas sales here I come!
    Chookas! X♥X

    That is fantastic. You must be so excited, well done. Sorry I haven’t been around for a while things have been hard for me. Well done again, I would love a copy when it is released. Trace

  • adgray replied

    I’ll make sure I get a signature on your copy too!
    & you’re fine life does get in the way but then that’s a good thing – virtuality can only satisfy so far!

    Congratulations Alyssa – so well deserved. I know first hand from a family member how difficult it is to get published so I do know what you have been through. There is a light at the end of the tunnel and its bright!!! Make sure you let us all know when it hits the shelves as I definitely want a signed copy – any chance of coming back to Newie for a book signing?

  • adgray replied

    BLIMEY!!! A Book Signing Tour???? That was stuff only of dreams!!!
    but I’ll make sure you get a signed copy!
    Chookas Bev mate! X♥X
