The glamorous life of a writer


Draft 6, guys. Draft 6.

Let no one ever tell you that author's DON'T forget important details, like dates. We do things like this to ensure that we remember:


It has not escaped my attention that if I had changed the setting of "Fidelio" from 18th century Spain to modern-day anywhere, the darn thing would sell like hotcakes. But I didn't have quite the courage, back when I started, to do that. I prefer to hope that people will want to read historical fiction. We'll see. *shrug*

As an aspiring writer myself, I wish you all the luck in the world. I'm not too familiar with "Fidelio," but still, when that book comes out I'll be one of the first in line for it!

Ok, that's surprising- never seen anyone outside the Spanish, use inverted factorials (sorry, exclamation marks, too much maths) when writing something, as you did in the second picture.

Also, you couldn't have been working that desk is far too clean for somebody working, for one thing you can see the table :-)
