For the last week or so I have been editing the first full draft of the manuscript for my book. I finished writing about ten days ago but didn’t post anything, partly due to tiredness/forgetting and partly due to the deadline that is fast approaching! However from the picture on the left you can see that I am just over halfway through the proofing/editing stage.

I was prompted to post to say I had finished by Keith Mansfield (thanks Keith!) who is author of Johnny Mackintosh and the Spirit of London (and tipped as the next J.K Rowling). Keith also has a very nice blog here, including posts on astronomy and space. So all being well, by around this time next year it will be the published book sitting on my desk and not my scribbled-on draft!
