My editor and I talked and I rewrote a few scenes, created a few, cleaned up the inordinate, obsessive love affair I had with adverbs in this one--don't ask me why, couldn't help myself I guess lol--and got it done before my brother got in from Afghanistan so I can visit with him these next couple of weeks. It was so good to see him last night and listen to him play his guitar. I'm taking a break from writing to read some books, ones I've been wanting to read, but haven't had the time with the edit. I started with Starting from Scratch by Georgia Beers. Excellent book, told in the first person. I admire authors who try something new. Her other novels have been told in the third person. Maybe one day, I'll be brave enough to try it. I'm still getting my feet wet, though. lol I'm happy with Come Back to Me. It's still amazing to be living my dream. I thank God, and I thank my wife, Phyllis, who is so patient and giving when I become obsessesed with my writing. We just had a wonderful dinner over at Amici's, an Italian restaurant a few blocks from here. We walked in the cold, but it was so romantic to sit with her and just enjoy her. I said this once on Facebook: I'm so happy, it's scary.
On another note, the Colts lost the Super Bowl. Although I was very disappointed, I was happy for Drew Brees and the city of New Orleans. There's always next year.....
Okay. Off to bed....
