Contract closure
Oct. 18th, 2004 07:29 pmOkay.
I signed the contract that, in bits and pieces, I typed in over the course of the last month or two (thank you for your restraint vis a vis typos <wry g>. And then I waited.
A lot of that waiting, in this business. Nothing is read quickly, unless for some reason you're pressing up against a production deadline, in which case there's severe anxiety and a sense of doom and dread that properly belongs in a Lovecraft pastiche. But I digress. After the book was sold, I was then asked to edit it. Which I did. The editing was much easier for me than the initial writing had been. This has always been true, with the single exception of my third published novel, which was a "pitch out and start over". Edits finished, I sent it back. And waited.
( What happened after signing the contract )
Any questions?
