About a week ago I talked about how I got the manuscript review of 'Purpose' done. It was a lot to take in, at the same time I was also really deep into the new project. The result, well I questioned everything because I was tirelessly thinking about the feedback on the manuscript. Then I took a step back and went wait, don't let this over shadow everything, take the advice and fix the manuscript and use the advice for future writing. The one thing I was afraid of is that all

Well the manuscript review from the writers guild came back sooner than expected. It was an odd manuscript, it was my first one and the first part was written almost four or five years ago, the rest was written two years ago. The feedback was exceptionally detailed. It was a messy manuscript, as I had never done one before and now I have the feedback to edit and re-write the final draft.

Still very challenging because I have never approached something like this but that is what makes this so challenging and fun. On the reading front I started The Iliad. Very good but def

Well as the title say's I finally finished the edits of Purpose . Talk about a weight lifted. It is now sent to the Alberta Writers Guild for feedback. So hopefully that comes back good and not many more changes need to be made. On the new crime project front I am making some pretty great progress. I'm around twelve thousand or so words so far. I still don't know whether this will be a novel or a novella or something else and I am not going to decide that until I get to a nat
