I'm almost done with Cove Valley, an urban thriller. I wrote this book over a decade ago. The manuscript had been sitting in a suitcase in my closet up until a few months ago.
Taking on this project has been a tricky task. My writing wasn't as polished when I wrote it, so I had to take notes based on what I wrote back then, re-write it, edit that version, then re-write it again.
I'm not sure if this is good or bad, but since I was so wordy over a decade ago, I had to cut a lot, which is going to make this one short book.
I will also be using a different writing style than usual because of the circumstances. In most cases, I can just flow, or take original notes and flow from there. With this one, I wasn't able to start from scratch. Will it work? I don't know. I think readers might have a love/hate relationship with it, depending on the reader.
Thanks for reading!
