A couple of months ago I talked about self-publishing, eventually settling instead on a plan of polishing something and sending it to real publishers, in the hope of being properly published. A few weeks ago I told you that along with a couple of friends I'd set myself a target of redrafting 10,000 words a week until the second draft was done in late June.

I finished it at the weekend; the end of the second draft, complete with a few find-all sweeps to catch the capitalisation on a few dangerous words (various 'title' nouns that I didn't actually know how to capitalise when I started, all those years ago...). One of my colleagues at work is an editor; he's offered to look at it (among other people, one or more of whom I will be talking to shortly).

I've no idea how long it will take to get feedback, but it means that perhaps I can work on one of my other projects for a while.
