Built-in Smile Rewrite
So, after having a few of my “readers” go over the full version of the manuscript, I’m going back to the keyboard to slice and dice The Built-in Smile. With their constructive feedback, I’m sure I can take a good story with well-developed characters and give it the increased pace and pop the action deserves.
At the same time, I’ll be jotting down more ideas for the next novel involving many of the same characters that you will all come to love (once the book is published and in your hands).
When I started spewing The Built-in Smile in March of 2007, I thought I’d have the manuscript done by the end of the summer. Of course, more than two years later, while I have a complete story, I’ve realized that my job is not nearly finished. Still, I’m enjoying the writing process and will continue to cherish those flow moments when my fingers fly across the keyboard like Mozart.
