I sent the publication manuscript off to be formatted today! I was targeting end of November to get this done, but life and the world conspired against that date. I think the month long delay was well worth it. I made some key changes in the main character's arc and delved deeper into other characters that I did not give adequate treatment in earlier drafts. For this one, I may even have a launch party. Heaven knows my wife thinks I should. Though rarely shy, for some reason I am about my books. I'll put them out into the world, but then want to hide while they, and by extension, I am judged, Confessing a real insecurity is rare for me as well but there it is.
