Final Edits Clockwork Constellation: Crocodile Cult

I am going through the edits for Clockwork Constellation: Crocodile Cult. It’s been two months since looking at a single page. Often I find myself wondering “who wrote that? It’s pretty good.” Other times the editors red marks remind me, “oh yes, that was me who made that mess.”

Here are two passages I thought were pretty good, and I hope you will enjoy finding them when you read this book arriving

Quotes by Paul Michael Peters (?)

“When you put pain in perspective”—she pauses to find the right words to articulate the sentiment—“it isn’t that we experience it in the moment. It’s that we are always going to have it, always going to carry it with us. It’s the weight we carry with aging.”
― Paul Michael Peters, The Symmetry of Snowflakes
