Bane of the Author: Editing and Revising

Posted on May 15, 2013 by Charles Yallowitz

I love and hate the revising process as much as the next guy.  Unless the next guy is a professional editor and then he’s got more to talk about.  As self-published authors, many of us have to take the revising … Continue reading →

It Is Done!

Posted on April 13, 2013 by Charles Yallowitz

Legends of Windemere: Family of the Tri-Rune is done with the third round of editing, which means it gets passed on to the wife for an outside opinion.  Now, for a week of ‘vacation’ where I blog, get through my … Continue reading →

Family of the Tri-Rune Up-Date

Posted on April 8, 2013 by Charles Yallowitz

So, I have less that 200 pages left to type in the hand-written edits and I’m realizing something.  I don’t give Sari nearly enough credit.  I always thought of her as the weakest of the champions, but she’s proving to … Continue reading →

I Wish My Chair Had Wheels

Posted on April 2, 2013 by Charles Yallowitz

I forgot how time-consuming and, sadly, boring this part of the editing stage was.  I’m just doing data entry to type in the changes I made by hand.  There’s a little bit of rewriting going on as I move along, … Continue reading →

April Cool Down

Posted on March 31, 2013 by Charles Yallowitz

So, Prodigy of Rainbow Tower won’t be debuting until May.  Hoping for beginning of May, but I’ve learned not to declare solid deadlines right now.  Releasing it within 3-4 months of the last book is still a good thing. This … Continue reading →

This Pineapple Tastes Inky . . . and Leaves Papercuts

Posted on March 25, 2013 by Charles Yallowitz

In a true act of writing splendor, I just tried to eat the first page of my edited book.  I mean, my tongue actually touched the paper as I held it.  While I have no defense for this sudden act … Continue reading →

Forgotten Within All the Morning Madness

Posted on March 25, 2013 by Charles Yallowitz

So with the bone-chilling cold, my confusion of 12.99 eBooks, the looming of Passover, and the comedy routine that is getting my son on the bus, I forgot to mention something. As of 11:15 last night, I finished the hand … Continue reading →

Nearing the End of Editing and a little Darwin

Posted on March 24, 2013 by Charles Yallowitz

So I have a single, 13-page chapter left as far as editing Family of the Tri-Rune.  I’m probably going to save that for tonight and tomorrow will start the input process.  That doesn’t take very long, but it will be … Continue reading →

I Blame The Lich

Posted on March 21, 2013 by Charles Yallowitz

I should have already done my morning biking, breakfast, and showering since I have a 33 page chapter to edit today.  I haven’t.  Why? My wife and a friend mention that I don’t use contractions every time.  I admit that … Continue reading →
