The Legend and the Dark

I took a mini-break from working on my current project and did some minor edits on The Legend and the Dark recently. I've shared this book with both of my writer's groups. One has finished it already, and the other is nearing the end. Obviously, sharing only a chapter or two with them each month meant they've been 'reading' this book over the span of a couple of years (pretty much the entire time I've been writing it). The edits received on these chapters were mostly of the smaller kind - the occasional typo, perhaps a grammatical suggestion, and sometimes a request for more details in certain sections. A few of my writer friends have read it straight through and were able to give me suggestions and comments about the entire story arc, character growth and critiques pertaining to the bulk of the story. For me, both types of comments were helpful. It allowed me to focus not only on the big picture, but also on some of the tiny details. I have a few readers/fellow writers still in the process of reading the book, and I look forward to their comments as well. One I've been told has an extremely keen editor's eye, so I'm curious to hear/read her comments/critique. I've been warned already about her 'red pen'.

Thank you all who have read The Legend and the Dark and have helped me to improve this manuscript.

Take care all -
