I ...Wow - another writer who works in the same way! I write then the next day edit before writing some more. Of course the edits continue forever ... but editing as you go does help. I couldn't write a whole MS then begin the first edit - it would be too daunting. My next step is to get 50 pages re-edited, before I write again and I repeat the same process. Only glad we aren't doing it on those old typwriters Nicky, I remember using tippex for every little mistake - nightmare!

Your birthday isn't in December, perchance? LOL.<br /><br />I can't recall the make of the typewriter but it was truly ancient, well over twenty years old I think. Some of the keys were prone to getting stuck and I learned to bend them carefully into shape. I think your brother was trying to tell you that there would be easier and more convenient (if just as temperamental) typing devices coming along in future years, ha!

I seem to be perennially worn out. Glad it doesn't show, hahaha! Yes, there is a sequel--two, in fact, as it's a Trilogy. Sophie's Run coming up soon, and Sophie's Encore out in September next year. WOW! Happy reading, Jan, and see you soon. :-)Nicky Wellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03449060624950454577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8348955675415247917.post-11375698288110751512012-10-16T10:22:39.425-07:002012-10-16T10:22:39.425-07:00Whooot, Yasmin, it's so lovely to see you here...Whooot, Yasmin, it's so lovely to see you here!

Then my little brother took the typewriter apart and locked the bits back in the case. Sniffle. Do you think he was trying to tell me something? :) xxSheryl Brownehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00921522478513543769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8348955675415247917.post-48179900890536277862012-10-16T08:06:59.357-07:002012-10-16T08:06:59.357-07:00I read Sophie's Turn and really enjoyed it.
